Weight Management After Cancer for Survivors in Rural Communities

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Duke University

Conditions: Breast Cancer Survivorship, Weight Management, Cardiovascular (CV) Risk, Breast Cancer

Interventions: WeCan-Rural Program

Countries: United States

This study is testing a new program called WeCan-Rural, designed to help breast cancer survivors manage symptoms and build healthy habits like eating well, staying active, and managing their weight. These changes may help lower the risk of heart disease after cancer treatment. The study will answer two main questions: * Can study team successfully recruit and keep participants in the study, and will the participants find the program helpful and easy to follow? * Will participants who join the program see better results in areas like weight, symptoms, diet, physical activity, and confidence in managing the participant's health compared to those who receive standard care? Here's what participants will do: * Visit the participant's clinic twice (about 12 weeks apart) to be weighed, have the blood pressure checked, give a blood sample, and complete a short walking test * Fill out online surveys about the participant's health, diet, physical activity, symptoms, and confidence in managing the participant's health * Be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to either receive the WeCan-Rural program or standard health information * If assigned to the program, attend 12 weekly one-hour video sessions on Zoom with a trained therapist
