Summary
This study tests a middle school science curriculum called CARES4You, designed to teach students about cancer risk and healthy choices. About 1,800 students in New York City public schools will either receive the curriculum during regular science class or continue with usual lessons. Researchers will measure whether the program increases students' intentions to adopt healthy behaviors and whether it sparks conversations about cancer at home.
