Nutrition Awareness Among Women With Non-Metastatic Breast Cancer

Questionnaire 1 will collect sociodemographic information (no PHI) and a brief dietary recall.

Questionnaire 2 will assess identification of ultra-processed foods. Before Questionnaire 3, participants will review a two-page educational flyer explaining the link between diet, obesity, and cancer, with information on unhealthy calories and food processing.
