Cancer Prevention: Stories for Change in Hispanic Community

Overview

About this study

This study is a process evaluation of a digital storytelling (DST) intervention. Because the DST intervention has not yet been developed, it is appropriate to use qualitative methods to assess the process.

This study will recruit gifted storytellers for a digital storytelling intervention on breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. A digital storytelling intervention will be developed to improve breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening rates among Hispanic, Spanish speaking individuals. Additionally, to conduct a qualitative assessment of the digital storytelling workshop.
