Abstract The Cancer Mukt Jagrukta Abhiyan-Arunachal Pradesh is a joint project by Government of Arunachal Pradesh, Mon Indigenous Culture & Welfare Society, Chabbi Sahayog Foundation and Dev Desh Vaidyakiya Shaikshanik Samajik Pratishthan with the aim to create awareness about cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment among the residents of Arunachal Pradesh. The project will involve conducting awareness campaigns, providing training and education to healthcare professionals, and establishing cancer screening and treatment center's in the state.
Cancer incidence and its related mortality has been a public health concern for Arunachal Pradesh in India. However, there is a lack of evidence about the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) for cancer risk factors, screening programme and preventive behavior – especially among indigenous tribal populations. A health camp based survey was conducted from 21st November 2023 to 28th November 2023 among an indigenous population of Tawang District Arunachal Pradesh. Snowball sampling was used to enroll 705 participants (233 were male and 472 were female). Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted using SPSS version 23 to test the hypothesis of KAP. (There is no difference in the level of knowledge / in the attitude / level of practice among study participants with respect to any independent (socio-demographic and other) factors.) The Papumpare Cancer Registry reported the highest cancer density among women and the second highest among men among all population-based cancer registries in India (Indian Council of Medical Research, Report of National Cancer Registry Programme, Bengaluru, India 2020). Knowledge about the cause of cancer and risk factors was poor among the respondents. Attitude towards screening was negative . Practice levels to prevent cancer were also low. More than 50% of the cases were treated outside the state and at private hospitals. Knowledge about cancer symptoms and risk factors was limited in the population. There is a need for more effective health promotion services in the state. Mass screening facilities and behavioral change activities are required and could be disseminated through social media platforms. Our analysis of a north-eastern region of India, which has unique geographical and cultural characteristics, informs future policy designs and other related studies for controlling cancer in the area
