“…As described above, these were addressed by the intervention. Other possible determinants of intention-building are described by the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) [ 35 ] in which outcome expectancies and task self-efficacy play a crucial role in what people choose to do. Perceived risk may also stimulate intentions to adopt, initiate or maintain health behaviors.…”

“…The aim of this study, which was run under the auspices of the University Cancer Center Dresden (UCC), a Comprehensive Cancer Center in the National Program of German Cancer Aid [ 33 ] was to promote the awareness of cancer-related risk factors and to increase the intention to engage in protective behavior as a predictor of actual behavior [ 34 , 35 ]. The effectiveness of BSAC in improving knowledge about cancer and associated behavioral risk factors and in promoting intentions to engage in protective behavior was tested in a randomized wait-control group trial including each student’s cancer risk profile as a variable in the analysis.…”

BackgroundSeveral studies suggest that most school-age children are poorly informed about cancer risk factors. This study examines the effectiveness of the ‘Be smart against cancer’ (BSAC) program in promoting cancer awareness and intentions to engage in health-promoting behavior.Methods235 seventh-grade students were randomized to either the intervention (N = 152) or the wait-control group (N = 83). The intervention included the modules: “What is cancer?,” “Sun protection,” “Non smoking,” and “Physical activity, Healthy nutrition, and Limited alcohol consumption.” Outcomes measured at baseline and at the end of the one week BSAC program included knowledge of cancer and its behavioral risk factors, health-promoting intentions, and reported risk behavior.ResultsBSAC was effective in increasing knowledge about cancer and risk factors for cancer (p < .001), as well as in increasing intentions to engage in health-promoting behavior (p < .001), independent of a student’s risk profile. Knowledge did not serve as a mediator for intention building.ConclusionsThe BSAC is an effective school-based program for raising awareness of cancer, associated risk factors and intentions to engage in cancer-preventive behavior. The results indicate that the effectiveness of BSAC is independent of a student’s risk profile. Therefore, it holds considerable promise as a broadly applicable program to raise cancer awareness and promote healthy behavior intentions.
