Delivering cancer education is one of the strategies for implementing health promotion and disease prevention programs. Moreover, cancer education can help people understand the risks related to specific behaviors that can trigger cancer during later life stages. This study examines the cancer perception of high school students (median age: 14 years) using a photovoice based on the health belief model. Students were requested to take photographs to answer the framework question: “How is cancer present in your surrounding?” A theoretical thematic analysis was conducted to develop codes, and the narratives completed by the participants on the SHOWED checklist were used to create contextualization. With the use of the health belief model, the following factors were determined: risk factors and environmental pollution (perceived susceptibility), symptoms (perceived severity), prevention and screening (benefits), ignorance and poverty, and ineffective laws and regulations (perceived barriers). Linked to these themes, students’ narration demonstrated the risk of developing cancer if the same environment and inadequate regulations persisted. This study highlights the need to incorporate the participation of adolescents in the design, implementation, and monitoring of several community issues to help address several unanswered questions.

The purpose of this study was to use the Health Belief Model as a conceptual framework to examine the HIV education needs of seventh, ninth, and eleventh grade students. A statewide stratified random sample was drawn during the Spring of 1988. Results reveal serious misconceptions regarding HIV transmission and the nature of AIDS. High levels of fear of AIDS were reported. While students perceive themselves to be highly susceptible to AIDS they clearly misunderstand the seriousness of the disease. Barriers to preventive actions and social pressures to increase risk were reported. Based on the results specific recommendations regarding the design of effective AIDS education are offered.
