Short documentary videos to raise cancer safety awareness for firefighters

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Active career California firefighters are randomly assigned to watch one of five short (about 5-minute) documentary-style videos after completing a pre-intervention survey. Participants then complete a post-intervention survey to measure changes in perceived susceptibility to cancer, perceived barriers to risk-reduction practices, self-efficacy, and perceived benefits. The primary outcomes are immediate changes in those beliefs and self-reported intentions to adopt preventive behaviors. The intervention is delivered by the University of California, Davis at UC Davis Health in Sacramento.
