Conditions studied: Body Weight
In brief
The long-term goal of this research is to develop, evaluate and implement effective mHealth technology interventions that improve cancer management outcomes by changing lifestyle behaviors among urban health- disparity facing populations. To accomplish this goal, the investigators will need to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an intervention in which breast cancer survivors receive counseling about lifestyle behaviors (weight, nutrition, and physical activity) from a health counselor trained in evidenced-based behavioral counseling methods.
