New Findings on Food and Breast Cancer Prevention

Learn about the latest findings from the Women’s Health Initiative, a large, prospective cohort of postmenopausal women, on the associations of dietary factors (e.g., overall diet quality) with survival in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. The findings discuss the association between diet quality and risk of death after breast cancer diagnosis.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 45 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians. 

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 0.75 AMA  PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:

• Define the current knowledge and challenges in identifying major risk factors of survival in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. 
• Identify dietary factors that may affect survival in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
