Rx for Better Breast Health

The investigators will recruit English-speaking, early-stage breast cancer survivors (N=200)
to a two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving a 2 (group) by 3 (time) repeated
measures design. The intervention will stimulate dietary behavior changes using
individualized anti-inflammatory dietary prescriptions with six monthly workshops (culinary
demonstrations, recipes and meal planning) and behavior change cures reinforced through
evidence- and theory-based patient navigation, motivational interviewing, and tailored
newsletters personalized to individual readiness for change. Control participants will
receive minimal nutritional information at baseline, monthly American Cancer Society
survivorship brochures, and two telephone calls prior to assessment appointments. Groups will
be compared at baseline and 6- and 12-month follow-up. Dependent measures will include
dietary behavior and levels of cancer-associated biomarkers.
