Neel, Matthew S. – Physics Education, 2022
We follow a radioactive sample from production in a reactor to its use in a biological application to model the complexities in the use of radioactive isotopes from a student's perspective. Specifically, we describe a way to use gamma ray detection outside the body to estimate the clearance rate of these radioisotopes from the body and how that…

Neil, Jordan M.; Parker, Naomi D.; Levites Strekalova, Yulia A.; Duke, Kyle; George, Thomas; Krieger, Janice L. – Health Education Research, 2022
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates are suboptimal, partly due to poor communication about CRC risk. More effective methods are needed to educate patients, but little research has examined best practices for communicating CRC risk. This multi-method study tests whether tailoring CRC risk information increases screening intentions. Participants…

Kunar, Melina A.; Watson, Derrick G. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) has been proposed to help operators search for cancers in mammograms. Previous studies have found that although accurate CAD leads to an improvement in cancer detection, inaccurate CAD leads to an increase in both missed cancers and false alarms. This is known as the over-reliance effect. We investigated whether…

Wigi Anis Nursanti; Nanik Setiyawati; Heni Puji Wahyuningsih – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2025
Breast cancer ranks as the most prevalent type of cancer and the fifth leading cause of death globally. Conducting early detection through breast self-examination (BSE) is a crucial preventive measure. The rate of early detection of breast cancer remains low due to insufficient knowledge and information, so health education is needed to increase…

Yusuke Miyashita; Kumi Yanagida; Naoki Shirafuji; Ryuji Hoshide; Katsuyuki Sato; Keiichi Taku; Kimitoshi Nakamura – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2024
Background: Individuals with severe motor and intellectual disabilities have become an aging population, and high cancer morbidity and mortality are critical issues affecting their survival. Cancer screening is a crucial method of resolving this issue; however, a suitable screening method for them has not been established. Methods: We used…

Alexandra, Bobb-Woodson; Denise, Maricle – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Pediatric cancer is the second leading cause of death among children ages 1-14 (Whitehead et al., 2016). Approximately 10,500 children ages 1-14 and 5090 adolescents ages 15-19 have been diagnosed with cancer in 2021 (American Cancer Society, 2021). An estimated 28% of childhood cases and 13% of adolescent patients will be diagnosed explicitly…

Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is amongst the 10 most common cancers worldwide and has a major effect on patients' quality of life. Given the complexity of this unique group of patients, a multidisciplinary team approach is preferable. Amongst the debilitating sequels of HNC and/or its treatment, swallowing, speech and voice impairments…

Ma, Zexin; Ma, Rong – Health Education & Behavior, 2023
Alcohol is a known carcinogen. However, public awareness of cancer risk associated with alcohol use is low. A promising approach to raising awareness is to include cancer warning labels on alcohol-containing products, but there is limited knowledge of the design and effect of such warnings. The present study investigated the impact of visual…

Bae, Beom Jun; Heald, Gary – Journal of American College Health, 2023
Objective: The current study explores non-linear effects of absolute risk and effects of comparative risk information about skin cancer on individuals' safety ratings, affective responses and behavioral intentions. Method: An experimental survey was conducted among college students (N = 563) to test the effects of absolute and comparative risk…

Pluta, Magdalena; Siuda, Piotr – Educational Media International, 2022
The entertainment education (EE) approach shows that entertainment storylines influence people's attitudes, opinions, and behavior, and this occurs, among others, when it comes to health and disease. In the case of TV shows and movies cancer is the most frequently shown disease, and this is especially important when considering the rise of VOD…

Caryn Babaian; Sudhir Kumar – American Biology Teacher, 2024
When students think of evolution, they might imagine T. rex, or perhaps an abiotic scene of sizzling electrical storms and harsh reducing atmospheres, an Earth that looks like a lunar landscape. Natural selection automatically elicits responses that include "survival of the fittest," and "descent with modification," and with…

Mobile mammography units (MMUs) can enhance access to breast cancer screening by providing convenient, cost-effective service, particularly for uninsured and underinsured women. However, prior studies indicate that acceptability concerns about quality and privacy, among other issues, may prevent women from utilizing MMUs. The current study employs…

Recently, there has been an emphasis on keeping the study of anatomy using donor material confined to the domain of medical and allied healthcare professionals. Given the abundance of both accurate and inaccurate information online, coupled with a heightened focus on health following the COVID-19 pandemic, one may question whether it is time to…

Charles P. Chen; Marjan Khanjani – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2024
Cancer survivors experience both physical and cognitive changes after treatment that can impact their vocational well-being should they decide to return to work. In this article, we explore the ways in which career counselling interventions can address the challenges faced by cancer survivors as they re-enter the workforce. Four major…

Kate Sykes; Grant J. McGeechan; Emma L. Giles – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Background: Women with learning disabilities are less likely to access cervical and breast cancer screening when compared to the general population. The Social Ecological Model (SEM) was used to examine the inequalities faced by women with learning disabilities in accessing cervical and breast cancer screening in England, UK. Methods: The findings…
