About this study

This study is for participants with a history of breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if Case Western Reserve University Teaching Kitchen is able to deliver an out patient culinary medicine intervention in-person and via Zoom. Participants will then apply the culinary and lifestyle cancer risk reduction strategies in between sessions. Surveys will be collected before and after the program.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
