# Diet and Physical Activity Changes Among Latina Breast Cancer Survivors

**Official Title:** Mi Vida Saludable: Maintaining Diet and Physical Activity Changes Among Latina Breast Cancer Survivors

**NCT ID:** [NCT02780271](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02780271)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 230
- **Lead Sponsor:** Columbia University
- **Collaborators:** National Cancer Institute (NCI)
- **Conditions:** Breast Cancer
- **Start Date:** 2016-02
- **Completion Date:** 2020-09-11
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2021-07-19

## Brief Summary

The investigators will conduct a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial to test the separate and synergistic effects of an in-person hands-on dietary and physical activity change curriculum (i.e., Mi Vida Saludable program) and e-communication strategies (text messaging, emailed newsletters and an interactive website) on changing dietary and physical activity behaviors among a diverse population of Latina breast cancer survivors who have completed breast cancer treatment. Participants will be evenly randomized to 4 arms: in-person education alone, e-communication alone, in-person education plus e-communication, or control.

## Detailed Description

There are clear diet and physical activity guidelines for cancer survivors: eat a diet high in fruits/vegetables and low in energy-dense foods and engage in 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each week. However, cancer survivors are provided with few, if any, resources to meet these guidelines and there are limited data supporting how cancer survivors can achieve sustained dietary change. There are even fewer behavioral change resources available to minority cancer survivors. Few studies have examined the separate and synergistic effects of in-person education and electronic or "e-"communication strategies in changing and maintaining health behaviors.

## Eligibility

## Arms

- **Arm A** (EXPERIMENTAL) — Subjects will receive in-person education plus e-communication AND subjects will receive control intervention
- **Arm B** (EXPERIMENTAL) — Subjects will receive e-communication alone AND subjects will receive control intervention
- **Arm C** (EXPERIMENTAL) — Subjects will receive in-person education alone AND subjects will receive control intervention
- **Arm D** (ACTIVE_COMPARATOR) — Subjects will receive control intervention

## Interventions

- **In-person education** (BEHAVIORAL) — Four in-person hands-on nutrition and physical activity education classes and cooking sessions.
- **E-communication** (BEHAVIORAL) — 11 months of motivational text messages, emailed newsletters, and access to a website.
- **Control** (BEHAVIORAL) — Written guidelines on diet and physical activity for breast cancer survivors, a pedometer to encourage physical activity, and a brief verbal overview of diet and physical activity guidelines for cancer survivors.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Change in daily servings of fruit/vegetables** _(time frame: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months)_ — Self-reported habitual fruit and vegetable intake will be assessed using the 10-item National Cancer Institute (NCI) All-Day Fruit and Vegetable screener.
- **Change in energy density** _(time frame: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months)_

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Change in Physical Activity** _(time frame: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months)_
