Summary

Cancer awareness is a critical element of cancer prevention and control. Creating public awareness on risk factors, preventative strategies, and the importance of early screening is the foundation upon which a cancer control program must be constructed. The purpose of this study is to describe the sociodemographic and risk factor distribution of the Abuja, Nigeria "World Cancer Day Walk" participants according to their motive for participating in the event (free cancer screening versus fun/activities), and secondarily, to investigate the impact of the event on educating attendees from the general population about cancer prevention and screening, in particular the importance of being physically active and maintaining a healthy body weight. Obesity is a known risk factor contributing to the development of cancer and NCD's.
