A Community Based Approach to Reducing Rural Cancer Disparities, Aim 2

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.
