What this research studies
Breast cancer survivors, especially Latina women, often face challenges in achieving a healthy weight, which is an important factor in long-term health. This project aims to provide a flexible, adaptive weight loss program delivered remotely, meaning you can participate from home. The program is based on the proven Diabetes Prevention Program but is specially adapted with information for breast cancer survivors and tailored to be culturally relevant for Latina communities. We hope this approach will make it easier for survivors to improve their diet and physical activity.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This opportunity is for Latina women who have been diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer within the last five years, are more than 60 days past treatment, and have a BMI of 27 or higher.
Not a fit: Patients who do not meet the specific criteria for breast cancer diagnosis, treatment status, ethnicity, or BMI may not be eligible for this particular program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Successfully achieving a healthy weight could improve long-term health and quality of life for breast cancer survivors.
How similar studies have performed: The researchers have previously developed and tested similar multi-component weight loss interventions, and this project builds upon that prior success with an adaptive approach.
