The MIND Diet for Breast Cancer Cognition (MIND-BC) Study

This study, called MIND-BC, is looking at whether the MIND Diet can help improve thinking and memory problems (cognition) in women who have had breast cancer. The MIND Diet combines elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, focusing on healthy foods like leafy greens, berries, fish, and olive oil, while limiting unhealthy fats and processed foods. You might be able to join if you are a woman over 18, have been diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer, and have recently completed your breast cancer treatment (6 months to 3 years ago). We are looking for 200 participants. The main goal is to see if the MIND Diet improves self-reported thinking and memory after 12 weeks and 3 months.

Study design
This study is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to either follow the MIND Diet or their usual diet. It plans to enroll 200 women.
What's involved
The study involves two 12-week phases: an intervention phase and a maintenance phase. Check-in sessions for the usual diet group will focus on general health, not diet.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants' self-reported cognition will be measured at 12 weeks and 3 months.
