Treatments tested in this trial

  • Lifestyle Intervention

    Behavioral

    The lifestyle intervention is a 16-week cognitive-behavioral intervention that addresses key changes in diet and PA behaviors to promote positive body composition changes.

  • Attention Control

    Behavioral

    The attention control participants will receive a home/work organization intervention: Following completion of the attention control home/work organization program and 16-week assessment, women will receive the lifestyle program.

Change in Quality of Life

Patient reported outcomes as measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapies Breast, Fatigue and Endocrine Symptoms (FACT-B, F and ES). The FACT-G is the overarching measure with a score range of 0-108; FACT-B (breast) subscale score range is 0-40; FACT-ES (endocrine symptoms) subscale score range is 0-76; FACT-F (fatigue) subscale is 0-52. Higher scores are better.
