To educate catchment area residents on modifiable risk factors for cancer (e.g.,
screening, behavior, vaccination) and the importance of participation in cancer research.
Provide participants with educational materials on cancer prevention, screening, and
vaccination.
Arm group label:
University of California, Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center's Catchment Area Population
Summary:
The University of California Davis, Comprehensive Cancer Center's (UCDCCC) Office of
Community Outreach and Engagement (OCOE) serves the 19 catchment counties which
approximately consists of 5 million residents. Currently, the overall catchment
population cancer screening rates fall below 80%. The aim of OCOE is to increase cancer
education (prevention, screening, and vaccination) and training. Through education, and
encouraging participation in routine screening for early detection, this can help
increase cancer knowledge. In addition to cancer education, OCOE wants to educate
community members regarding modifiable risk factors which include tobacco usage, being
overweight/obese (physical inactivity/poor nutrition), and lack of immunizations. By
increasing knowledge of cancer prevention, screening, and vaccination this will help
community members become more aware of their cancer risk.
Detailed description:
Objective: To determine the effects of health education, outreach, and training
activities on cancer control and prevention knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors
among the University of California Davis, Comprehensive Cancer Center's (UCDCCC)
catchment area residents. There are 3 Specific Aims for EDUCATE.
Specific Aim 1: To educate catchment area residents on modifiable risk factors for cancer
(e.g., screening, behavior, vaccination) and the importance of participation in cancer
research.
Specific Aim 2: Provide participants with educational materials on cancer prevention,
screening, and vaccination.
Specific Aim 3: Evaluate the effectiveness of the health education, outreach, and
training through the analyses of quantitative and qualitative data collected from the
health education activities.
