ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a special weight loss program designed for Latina women who have survived breast cancer. The program is delivered online and is tailored specifically to meet the needs and culture of Latina survivors. Since many Latina survivors struggle with being overweight or obese, which can affect their health after cancer, this trial aims to provide the support they need to lose weight and improve their health outcomes.

To participate, you must be a biologically female, Hispanic or Latina, at least 18 years old, and have been diagnosed with stage I to III breast cancer within the last five years. You should also have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, which means you are considered overweight. Participants need to have access to a phone and the internet for the online program, as well as live in an area where grocery delivery is available. Throughout the study, you will receive support for a full year to help you with weight loss and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
