Study Review
The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of Mi Vida Saludable (My Healthy Life), a program designed to help Latina/Hispanic breast cancer survivors eat a healthy diet and be physically active. The Mi Vida Saludable program included four weeks of hands-on and in-person nutrition and physical activity education classes and 11 months of electronic communication via text messaging, emails, and a website.
The researchers turned to the Army of Women (AOW) to enroll up to 500 volunteers for this New York, NY-based study. The Call to Action for this study was sent to AOW members on June 1, 2016. The researchers closed enrollment on June 4, 2019, after the AOW provided them with 7 women who were interested in enrolling in the study.
