Arms (1)
- label
- Fourth grade students
- description
- Each participant will attend two presentations and six hands-on activities led by St. Jude faculty and research staff on topics within their expertise, such as cells and cancer, and healthy living. The pre-test will take place within 7±1 days before the program presentations and before students receive copies of the printed material. Two post-tests will take place. The first post-test will be administered within 7±1 days after the final scheduled program presentation and will be a measure of knowledge acquisition. The second post-test will take place 90±7 days post-intervention and will be a measure of knowledge retention.
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- This study will measure knowledge acquisition and retention of 4th grade students.
- timeFrame
- 1 year
- description
- Knowledge acquisition will be assessed by taking the differences from first post-test to pre-test scores, obtained from 10 questions on each component of the intervention. A similar analysis will be undertaken by taking the differences from the 2nd post-evaluation to the 1st post-evaluation for each participant to assess knowledge retention.
