Conditions studied: Prevention Harmful Effects

In brief

It is known that diet and physical affect a variety of disease-related endpoints and overall health status in general. The investigators also know that dietary and PA intervention effects are difficult for individuals to maintain. By contrast, the investigators have some evidence that group-based and family-centered, multi-component interventions are more effective in terms of creating large changes in diet-related outcomes. Using a group-randomized, controlled design, the overall goal of this project is to reduce breast cancer-related health disparities in a high-risk community, by achieving these Primary Aims,to conduct a regionally-based community-designed dietary and physical activity behavioral controlled trial among AA women,to test the effectiveness of the community-designed, family-based dietary and physical activity behavioral intervention on modifying biomarkers of inflammation and to test the effectiveness of the community-designed, family-based dietary and physical activity behavioral intervention on decreasing breast density
