What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CC&SOther

    Also called Cancer Clear & Simple

    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.

Study groups in NCT02973022
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Community CC&S GroupOnce 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.
Receives: Other: CC&S
Community Control GroupOnce 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 GroupOnce 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.
Receives: Other: CC&S
ACEC Control GroupOnce 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in behavioral intent

    Measured: Up to 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in cancer knowledge

    Change in cancer knowledge measured before the educational session to after the session and duration of that knowledge as measured from right after the session to six months later.

    Measured: Up to 6 months
