The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Randomized Clinical Trials and Breast Cancer Prevention

Hear the results of the Women’s Health initiative RCT related to dietary fat intake; increased intake of fruits, vegetables, and grains; and use of hormone therapy in relation to breast cancer incidence.

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)™.

• Describe the design and conduct of the WHI randomized clinical trials with special attention to the WHI Dietary Modification trial evaluating a low-fat dietary pattern.
• Learn about the 20-year findings of the WHI DM trial.
• Understand the 20-year findings of the two WHI menopausal hormone therapy trials. 

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.
