This is a research study to find out which type of sedentary behavior, or sitting, is most strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in endometrial cancer survivors. Additionally, we hope to better understand your perception of sedentary behavior and sedentary behavior reduction. The findings from this research study will be used to design a future sedentary behavior reduction intervention for endometrial cancer survivors. Participation in this study includes one assessment visit (during your regularly scheduled clinic visits) where we will measure your blood pressure and arterial stiffness using a blood-pressure like non-invasive device. Additionally, during this visit, you will answer questionnaires, complete a short physical function test (i.e., balance, walking, standing), and be instructed in how to use an accelerometer (movement tracking device worn on your upper thigh) paired with a smart-phone application that will ask you questions about your physical activities and sedentary behavior for 7-days following your

We have study goals: (1) To conduct phone interviews to ask about symptoms and life impact from adult patients living with PSC; (2) To lead community advisory board discussions to decide on using existing symptom measures 'as is', modify existing measures or develop new measures to evaluate PSC symptoms; and (3) To conduct interviews with adult patients with PSC to assess their understanding and comprehension of selected symptom measures. We plan to consent and enroll up to 75 patients into a Screening database. From the database, we will select up to 24 patients to interview for Aim 1 and up to 16 patients to interview for Aim 3. Interviews will be conducted over the phone by staff at Duke University. At the end of the study, we will have 3 PSC symptom measures for use in future PSC studies.
