Cancer Prevention

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.

Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

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.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities
  • Cancer Education

Background:

  • Community health education programs, like those using promotores, show success but face sustainability challenges.
  • There is a need for sustainable models to disseminate health information, particularly cancer education, to underserved populations.
  • Hispanic communities and Puerto Rico present specific contexts for health education interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a sustainable train-the-trainer model for graduate public health students.
  • To equip public health students with cancer education modules for dissemination in Puerto Rico.
  • To assess the impact of the training on students' cancer knowledge and confidence.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-day "Cáncer 101" training program was delivered to 32 graduate public health students at Ponce Health Sciences University.
  • Cancer knowledge was measured using a 54-item assessment before and after the training.
  • Training effectiveness was evaluated using a survey based on social cognitive theory constructs.

Main Results:

  • Participants showed a significant average increase of 11.38 points in cancer knowledge post-training (p < .001).
  • Students reported favorable evaluations, including high scores on self-efficacy and outcome expectations.
  • The training effectively prepared students to deliver cancer education modules.

Conclusions:

  • The train-the-trainer model is an innovative and potentially sustainable approach to cancer education.
  • Training graduate public health students can effectively reach underserved communities with vital health information.
  • This model offers a scalable solution for disseminating cancer education in diverse populations.
