#4Corners4Health: A Social Media Cancer Prevention Program for Rural Emerging Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 4 Corners Rural Health Cancer Prevention for Cancer. Completed, enrolled 1,796 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
Young adults aged 18-26 engage in a number of behaviors that increase their risk of developing cancer later in life including sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating, nicotine produce us, heavy drinking of alcohol, increased UV exposure, and incomplete uptake of HPV vaccination. A multi-risk factor campaign will be developed to reduce these cancer risk behaviors and delivered to young adults over social media, a popular channel that can reach nearly all young adults. The campaign will be evaluated for effectiveness in a rigorous randomized trial with measures of moderate to vigorous physical activity, healthy eating patterns, nicotine product use, alcohol intake, sunburn prevalence, and HPV vaccination uptake.
