LCC Warnings - Representative Survey

In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.

Breast Cancer and Health Promotion Study

Black women have worse breast cancer outcomes than White women. Physical activity can help cancer survivors live longer, feel better, and stay healthier. However, there aren't many health promotion programs to help Black women diagnosed with breast cancer become physically active, feel better, and stay healthy. The purpose of this study is to understand what kind of health promotion programs Black women diagnosed with breast cancer prefer and how different things affect their health and lifestyle. The insights gained from this study will help develop a customized health promotion program for Black women diagnosed with breast cancer.
