Summary
This study tests a science curriculum called CARES4You, taught by regular teachers in New York City middle schools. The lessons cover cancer risk, genetics, and healthy choices. Researchers will compare students who get the program to those who don't, looking at whether they intend to adopt healthier behaviors and talk more with their families about cancer prevention.
