Training Appalachian Kentucky Youth Cancer Advocates

CONCLUSIONS: Youth represent potentially powerful agents of advocacy that could help address the cancer burden in Kentucky. Participants in this study likely overestimated their advocacy abilities before learning more about advocacy and participating in the process. As such, additional trainings are likely necessary to increase students' self-efficacy, encourage them to share their stories, and help them overcome perceived barriers.PMID:34075428 | DOI:10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001256
