Through funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NCFH has developed a comprehensive cancer-training curriculum to train promotoras and health educators to deliver cancer education messages to the farmworker community. This bilingual comprehensive cancer-training curriculum is a user-friendly tool and will provide promotoras and/or health educators with the basic information and knowledge of the most commonly found cancers.

The curriculum components include:

• breast cancer
• cervical cancer
• colorectal cancer
• lung cancer
• oral cancer
• skin cancer
• prostate cancer
• testicular cancer

The curriculum includes different teaching and reinforcement activities using an interactive learning process to teach communication and education techniques as well as guidelines about specific messages to communicate to the community.

The curriculum is designed to assist migrant and community health centers or other organizations currently training or interested in training promotoras or health educators. Copies of the curriculum are available through the NCFH Resource Center. For ordering and price information, refer to the Resource Center.
