From knowledge to action: strengthening cancer prevention knowledge in schools among adolescents in Germany
Multimedia enhanced school-based interventions incorporating the ECAC recommendations effectively increase cancer prevention knowledge among adolescents and knowledge retention after three months. While knowledge retention trends indicated a need for reinforcement, our results demonstrate the effectiveness of early, targeted interventions to address baseline knowledge gaps and provide insights that could potentially shape future interventions.
