This inventory is created to serve as a trusted, well-structured collection of high-quality educational resources and scientific literature on cancer prevention. It brings together a diverse range of materials carefully curated to support educators, parents, adolescents, and health professionals in promoting cancer prevention knowledge and practices.
The content is categorized into six thematic areas, each with relevant subcategories to ensure clarity and ease of access. These categories cover lifestyle factors for cancer prevention, substance use and cancer risks, environmental risks and disease prevention, cancer awareness, media literacy, and cancer education, policy & practice. Each category is accompanied by a short description to guide users through the available resources.
The resources included in the inventory have been selected according to specific criteria to ensure relevance, scientific integrity, and usefulness. All resources listed are published between 2014 and 2024. All content is published in English, except from resources listed under “Multilingual Resources”. Studies included are primarily conducted in the EU, taking into account cultural, socio-economic, and healthcare system contexts, while relevant international studies are also included. Publications contained within are all peer-reviewed to ensure credibility, while all opinion pieces are strictly excluded. International guidelines and recommendations are all the product of authoritative institutions.
This inventory supports the goals of the SUNRISE project by promoting access to reliable, up-to-date information that empower young people, families, and educators to make informed decisions about cancer prevention.
