IMPROVE, a community‐based exercise intervention versus support group to improve functional and health outcomes among older African American and Non‐Hispanic White breast cancer survivors from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds: Recruitment strategies and baseline characteristics

Behavioral intervention studies in older breast cancer survivors, particularly older African American (AA) and socioeconomic status–disadvantaged breast cancer survivors, are lacking. To inform future studies, the authors examined recruitment strategies in older breast cancer survivors who participated in an exercise intervention study.
