NCT ID NCT07253792
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a four-week training program on cancer screening could improve knowledge and increase use of family health centers among university academics. 71 academics were split into two groups, with one group receiving the training. Researchers measured their knowledge and self-reported use of health centers before and after the program.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this training could help increase awareness and use of cancer screening services among academics.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site study with only 71 participants, so results may not apply to other groups. It measures knowledge and self-reported use, not actual cancer outcomes.
