Summary

The MILES Study is a longitudinal, mixed-methods investigation of urinary biomarkers, energy balance, and lifestyle modifications in diverse women during early breast cancer treatment. The study's overarching goal is to assess dietary quality and physical activity changes over time using reliable, scalable tools suitable for clinical or population settings, supporting newly diagnosed patients in adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors through treatment and survivorship.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Survey completion

Surveys will evaluate dietary quality, physical activity, tobacco use, demographic and socio-economic/occupation factors and perspectives about participation in biomedical/biospecimen research.

OTHER

Urine specimen banking

The study team will collect the first urine of the day from these volunteers on the same day that they complete the lifestyle questionnaires. The urine will be used for metabolomics testing via Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and will be correlated with the survey data.

OTHER

Qualitative interviews

After the survey and urine specimen have been received, participants will be scheduled for online or in-person semi-structured interviews. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted at baseline (either before or after surgery, but not both for the same individual) and at follow up.
