What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate whether short documentary-style videos can educate and motivate firefighters to adopt safety measures that reduce cancer risk. The study focuses on understanding if firefighters feel more susceptible to cancer, perceive fewer barriers, and show greater confidence and benefit in risk reduction after watching these videos. The trial is led by the University of California, Davis, and involves active career firefighters. Participants will be randomly assigned to watch one of five different 5-minute video interventions, each featuring stories related to various types of cancer. These include videos about brain cancer, colorectal and lung cancer, melanoma, and breast cancer, all highlighting firefighter experiences. The study includes a pre-intervention survey, viewing the assigned video, and a post-intervention survey to assess impact. During the study, participants will complete surveys before and after watching the assigned video to measure changes in cancer risk perception and attitudes toward prevention. The main outcome is the post-intervention survey results analyzed within 12 months of study start. The total participation involves a single session including surveys and video viewing. The trial has no masking and includes adults aged 18 and over who are active firefighters in California.
