Temple University received a $407,543 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to develop and evaluate a peer-led social media intervention promoting anal cancer prevention in high-risk populations. The two-year project, awarded June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2028, will deliver two primary products: (1) a co-designed social media influencer training program based on adapted evidence-based materials and an anal cancer prevention toolkit, and (2) a resulting social media campaign with documented feasibility and short-term impact assessments. The intervention is grounded in the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model, the Popular Opinion Leader (POL) Model, and the SMILE Framework (Social Media for Implementing Evidence), with development conducted in partnership with a community advisory board. The project will employ mixed-methods evaluation including engagement metrics, social network analysis, qualitative interviews, and quasi-experimental methods to generate data on feasibility, acceptability, and potential impact of the scalable intervention. This research directly supports NCI's cancer prevention priorities by addressing disparities in anal cancer screening awareness and utilization among populations with elevated immunologic and behavioral risk factors, ultimately informing national communication strategies to reduce cancer health disparities.Federal Grant Award Summary
