| description | Outreach Project realized between April and June of 2008, with the objectives of promoting cancer prevention education among the community of Santa Maria, RS, Brazil, through lectures on the subject, and evaluating the efficacy of this educative approach. Four lectures were done about cancer prevention. Evaluation questionnaires were distributed to the target audience before and after the lectures. The data was summarized with frequency and average (tables from Epi Info version 6.04). From 61 persons, 22(36%) and 8(16%) had incomplete and complete primary school, respectively; 26 (43%) had complete secondary school; and three (5%) had completed superior education. After the lecture, there were more correct questions about cervical, head and neck, gastric, breast, esophageal, prostate and bladder cancer. There was a small decrease in the number of correct questions about skin and gastrointestinal cancer and no change in the number of correct answers about lung cancer. The lectures were useful for the community, however the way of displaying the subject has to be continued improving for the persons with low educational level. |
