Brief Summary

This clinical trial evaluates a community health education intervention (I CAN) for increasing community-driven actions to reduce the cancer burden in Western New York. Engaging community members is a critical component of designing impactful programs to reduce the cancer burden. Leaders at the national, state, and local levels have all called for more community partnerships and engagement in design of health intervention and policies. The I CAN intervention is a workshop that includes a presentation outlining key concepts related to social network processes and the cancer burden in Western New York, a structured skill-building activity, and then empowering and motivating activities meant to cultivate momentum and excitement for action. This community health education intervention may be able to provide a formalized process for empowering and facilitating community members to take steps to reduce the community cancer burden.
