About this trial
Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The study will involve a total of 78 participants, with 39 in the experimental group and 39 in the control group. The 39 participants assigned to the experimental group will first complete the cancer knowledge burden, and attitudes and information about cancer screenings scales. They will then receive cancer education consisting of four modules, which will be completed over four weeks. At the end of these four weeks, they will complete the scales again. One month after the education, the experimental group will complete the scales once more for follow-up monitoring. The control group will first complete the cancer knowledge burden, and attitudes and information about cancer screenings scales after agreeing to participate in the study. They will complete the scales again one month later. The evaluation of the education in the experimental group will involve comparing the scales completed before and after the education.
