ClinConnect Summary

The MIND Trial is a study designed to see how a special online program can help improve the eating habits of women who have survived stage I-III breast cancer. Many breast cancer survivors struggle to meet the recommended nutrition guidelines, even though we know that healthy eating can help with recovery and overall health. The MIND program, delivered through the Cook for Your Life website, offers free resources like recipes and cooking videos to help make healthy eating easier and more enjoyable. By participating in this program, survivors may learn to eat more fruits and vegetables, which can positively impact their health.

To take part in the trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer within the last five years. You should be finished with any chemotherapy or radiation treatments for at least 60 days, be able to access the internet, and be willing to complete some online surveys and activities. It's also important that you don't currently smoke and typically eat fewer than five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. If you meet these requirements and are interested in improving your diet after cancer treatment, this program might be a great fit for you!
