Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of participation in Cancer Clear and Simple (CC\&S) educational sessions on cancer prevention and screening. The researchers will recruit 60 community members: 30 will receive CC\&S training (intervention group) and 30 will not (control group). All 60 will be surveyed about their intent to change their behavior at the beginning of the study and their actual behavior changes and their screening behavior 6 months after enrollment in the study.

Conditions

Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in behavioral intent

  All 60 participants (30 intervention, 30 control group) will be surveyed about their intent to change their behavior at the beginning of the study and their actual behavior changes and their cancer screening behavior 6 months after enrollment in the study.

  Up to 3 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Change in cancer knowledge

  Up to 6 months

Study Arms (4)

Community CC&S Group

Once participants are randomized, they will be given survey 1. The intervention group in the community will be exposed to the modified CC\&S educational sessions in a series of 2 one hour and 15 minute sessions on consecutive Monday nights. A free meal will be provided at both educational sessions. Childcare will be provided for community sessions. Once the final educational session is completed, all participants will be given survey 2.

Other: CC&S

Community Control Group

Once participants are randomized, they will be given survey 1. The control group in the community will be exposed to a nutrition education program in a series of 2 one hour and 15 minute sessions on consecutive Monday nights. A free meal will be provided at both educational session. Childcare will be provided for community sessions. Once the final educational session is completed, all participants will be given survey 2.

ACEC CC&S Group

Once participants are randomized, they will be given survey 1. The intervention group at ACEC (Adams-Columbia Electric Company) will be exposed to the modified CC\&S educational sessions in a series of 6 thirty minute sessions before the work day begins over the course of several weeks. The researchers anticipate that two sessions will occur per week and therefore the delivery of the whole intervention will take 3 weeks. A free meal will be provided at all 6 educational sessions. Once the final educational session is completed, all participants will be given survey 2.

Other: CC&S

ACEC Control Group

Once participants are randomized, they will be given survey 1. The control group at ACEC will be exposed to a nutrition education program in a series of 6 thirty minute sessions before the work day begins over the course of several weeks. We anticipate that two sessions will occur per week and therefore the delivery of the whole intervention will take 3 weeks. A free meal will be provided at all 6 educational sessions. Once the final educational session is completed, all participants will be given survey 2.

Interventions

CC&S OTHER

Three educational modules -- Cancer Basics, Cancer Prevention, and Cancer Screening -- intended to increase cancer awareness. The full CC\&S curriculum is currently available at http://chdi.wisc.edu/cancer-clear-simple-curriculum-rural-adaptation.
