Abstract

One of the main barriers to cancer prevention and early detection is the general lack of awareness of cancer risk factors, symptoms, and screening options. Improving long-term cancer outcomes requires increasing public knowledge through interesting strategies with mobile app called PEKA. This study aims to identify cancer awareness among adults by given education mobile-app. This study used a quantitative descriptive method with 75 respondents. Descriptive analysis of the data was utilized to compile awareness and demographic traits. The result shows mostly 39,7% was answer incorrectly about cancer warning sign, 52% doesn’t know the screening programme, and the descriptive response displays a variety of responses. The results emphasize the benefits of multimodal, community-integrated teaching strategies, especially for individuals with poor computer literacy or educational achievement. PEKA and other mobile apps should be considered complementary tools rather than standalone solutions.
