Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Education
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Cancer is the leading cause of death in Puerto Rico (PR).
  • There is a documented need for improved cancer education within PR communities.
  • Culturally adapted curricula can enhance cancer education and reduce health disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the transcreation process of the Cancer 101 curriculum for training Master of Public Health (MPH) students in PR.
  • To ensure the adapted curriculum effectively equips MPH students to deliver culturally relevant cancer education.
  • To address health disparities through improved community-level cancer education.

Main Methods:

  • A three-phase transcreation process was employed, involving expert panel reviews and focus groups with MPH students.
  • The Cancer 101 curriculum underwent content review, cultural adaptation, and revisions based on expert and student feedback.
  • Adaptations focused on incorporating local references, culturally relevant examples, and appropriate language and literacy levels.

Main Results:

  • The transcreation process resulted in a culturally and literacy-level appropriate nine-module curriculum tailored for PR.
  • Expert panel and MPH student feedback guided revisions, enhancing content, utility, and relevance for local delivery.
  • Participants found the adapted curriculum satisfactory, easy to use, and containing valuable resources.

Conclusions:

  • The transcreation of the Cancer 101 curriculum successfully adapted educational materials for the PR social context.
  • The adapted curriculum is suitable for training MPH students to deliver effective cancer education in PR communities.
  • Findings underscore the necessity of tailoring Spanish educational materials for diverse Hispanic subgroups.
