NFSHW26 Cancer Knowledge, Exposure Beliefs, and Prevention Behaviors: Insights from Iowa's Agricultural Communities

Live Webinar: Friday, September 25 - 1pm to 2pm Central Time

Many agricultural hazards are also modifiable cancer risk factors, so the promotion of safe behaviors on the farm can be considered a form of cancer prevention, even if cancer is never explicitly mentioned. This presentation shares findings from University of Iowa Agricultural Safety and Health research that assessed perceptions of cancer risk factors, concerns related to occupational exposures, sources of cancer information, and engagement in cancer risk reduction behaviors among people living and working in agriculture in Iowa.

Intended Audience: Anyone living and/or working in agricultural settings, rural health professionals

Presenter: Caroline Powell, MS, Environmental Outreach Coordinator, Iowa Cancer Consortium
