Filter by:The European Code Against Cancer contains 12 recommendations to reduce the risk of cancer. It is estimated that about half of all cancers could be prevented if all recommendations are followed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Program of Health Behaviour Against Cancer (PHeBAC) applied to mothers of children with intellectual disabilities in increasing the participation of mothers and their children with intellectual disabilities in cancer screenings and their health behaviors against cancer. The goal is to improve the preventive health behaviors of children with intellectual disabilities and their mothers against cancer and to increase the rate of participation in cancer screenings. Specific targets are; not smoking and not being exposed to smoking, increasing physical activity, healthy nutrition, limiting alcohol consumption, protection from sunlight, HPV vaccination and increasing participation in breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screenings.
The goal of this interventional pilot study is to test and evaluate different information materials created to heighten participants cancer literacy, cancer prevention beliefs, and subsequent intention for behavioral changes. Forty individuals, intended to cover a broad socioeconomic background, will participate in the pilot study. Based on the results of this pilot study, the information materials will be adapted for the following main study.
The proposed study will develop and test an implementation strategy called Salud en Mis Manos-Dissemination and Implementation Assistance (SEMM-DIA) which is an internet-accessible cross-platform that includes additional implementation support strategies to increase the reach, effectiveness, and implementation of an evidence-based breast and cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination program for Latinas (SEMM).
Cancer awareness is a critical element of cancer prevention and control. Creating public awareness on risk factors, preventative strategies, and the importance of early screening is the foundation upon which a cancer control program must be constructed. The purpose of this study is to describe the sociodemographic and risk factor distribution of the Abuja, Nigeria "World Cancer Day Walk" participants according to their motive for participating in the event (free cancer screening versus fun/activities), and secondarily, to investigate the impact of the event on educating attendees from the general population about cancer prevention and screening, in particular the importance of being physically active and maintaining a healthy body weight. Obesity is a known risk factor contributing to the development of cancer and NCD's.
