Summary
This pilot study tested a 4-month program that combines weight loss strategies with stress management techniques for Black breast cancer survivors who have obesity and high stress. The program is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program and includes 16 sessions. Researchers measured how many people joined and stayed in the program, as well as changes in weight and stress levels.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help Black breast cancer survivors manage weight and stress after treatment, potentially improving long-term health outcomes.
