About this study
Official title: The Effect of Web-Based Cancer Awareness Education in Schools on Students' Knowledge Level, Help-Seeking Behaviors, and Stigma Attitudes
Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of web-based cancer awareness education in schools on students' knowledge levels, help-seeking attitudes, and stigma attitudes.
Method: The Web-Based Adolescent Cancer Education (WAKE) study was planned as a school-based, randomized controlled experimental study. Qualified high schools in the public sector of Izmir province will constitute the study population. Private schools are excluded for adolescents whose additional needs cannot be met in inclusive education. Two schools will be selected using a purposive sampling method (15-18 age group) and assigned to the experimental and control groups. This will prevent interaction between students in both schools. Students in each school will be listed, and assignments to groups will be made using a web-based randomizer application with randomly selected numbers (https://www.randomizer.org/). Data will be collected using the Cancer Awareness Scale (CAM), the Cancer Stigma Scale (CASS-T), and a Basic Demographic Questionnaire. In the evaluation of the data, descriptive statistics (number, percentage, and statistic) will be used, and repeated measures analysis of variance will be employed to assess the effect of the intervention. Differences in results between the experimental and control groups will be tested using multiple regression methods.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Web-Based Cancer Awareness EducationBehavioural
A web-based educational program delivered in school settings that provides education on cancer-related knowledge, help-seeking behaviors, and cancer-related stigma.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Web-Based Cancer Awareness Education | Experimental | Students receive a web-based cancer awareness education program delivered in school settings, providing education on cancer awareness, help-seeking behaviors, and cancer-related stigma. Receives: Behavioral: Web-Based Cancer Awareness Education |
| No Cancer Awareness Education Control | No intervention | Students do not receive the web-based cancer awareness education program during the study period. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cancer Awareness Level
Cancer Awareness Level: Cancer awareness will be assessed using the Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM). The CAM measures multiple dimensions of cancer awareness, including awareness of cancer warning signs, cancer risk factors, and help-seeking behavior. Total scores range from 0 to 77, with higher scores indicating greater cancer awareness.
Measured: Baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, 1 month after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention.
Secondary outcomes (1)
Cancer-Related Stigma Attitudes
Cancer-related stigma attitudes will be assessed using the Cancer Stigma Scale-Turkish (CASS-T). The scale measures attitudes toward individuals with cancer and cancer-related stigma. Total scores range from 25 to 150, with higher scores indicating greater perceived stigma.
Measured: Baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the intervention, 1 month after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention.
