Behavior and Risk Awareness Through Video Education for Firefighters (BRAVE)

March 20, 2026 updated by: University of California, Davis

BRAVE: Behavior and Risk Awareness Through Video Education for Firefighters

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of short documentary-style videos to educate and inspire firefighters to take safety measures to prevent cancer incidence and mortality.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Will firefighters will have a higher perceived susceptibility to cancer, lower perceived barriers to cancer risk reduction practices, and higher perceived self-efficacy and benefit to risk reduction practices after watching the videos?

Participants will:

  • Take a Pre-Intervention survey
  • Watch one of five randomly assigned 5 minute video interventions
  • Take a Post-Intervention survey
