Participant milestones
Measure
Arm A (Control)
Participants receiving written dietary recommendations for breast cancer survivors (control arm) Written dietary recommendations: Standard of care: one on one meetings with study staff to receive compiled written information on dietary recommendations for breast cancer survivors produced by the New York City-based not-for-profit, God's Love We Deliver
Arm B (Cocinar Para Su Salud Program)
Participants attending Cocinar Para Su Salud Program held over a 12-week period Cocinar Para Su Salud Program: A series of 9 Cocinar Para Su Salud intervention sessions held over a 12-week period. The 12-week intervention period will be divided into 3 groups: motivation, action, and environment. Each topic will use a nutrition roundtable, food shopping field trip, and a cooking class to teach pertinent points, in order to enable participants to progress from the precontemplation, contemplation, and preparation stages of change to the action and maintenance stages.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 months

Population: Blood samples for DNA methylation were collected for 24 and 23 participants in Arm A and B respectively resulting in 24 (Arm A) and 23 (Arm B) analyzed.

Fasting blood will be collected at baseline and 12 months to determine whether the change in diet changes participants' biomarkers. Specifically, the change in DNA methylation (a chemical reaction in the body in which a small molecule called a methyl group gets added to DNA) will be measured against the increase in dietary factors.
