Cancer strikes many Americans and is the second largest cause of death in this country. Extensive research is done on cancer, and significant advances in treatment have been made over the years. Perhaps even more startling than the improvements in treatments have been research results that have greatly enhanced knowledge of the causes of, and preventive measures for, many types of cancer. In some situations, such as that concerning the relationship between smoking and lung cancer, very large populations can drastically reduce their chances of getting a disease by making a single lifestyle change. In other situations the evidence is not as definitive, the population not as large, or the effect not as striking, but there yet exists valid prevention information. Overall, taking a relatively few preventive measures can reduce cancer incidence from a slight amount to a very large amount for a significant number of types of cancer. If a large proportion of the population were to take these measures, the impact on the health of our society would be immense. The information about cancer preventive measures is certainly not yet universally applied. In some cases that is due to lack of knowledge, in others to a reluctance to make lifestyle changes even given the evidence. This project describes the generation of an active information presentation method, based on PC and CD- ROM technology, that interacts with the user and that has the potential to encourage behavioral change to a greater degree than conventional passive information provision techniques.

癌症袭击了许多美国人，是美国第二大死亡原因。 这个国家对癌症进行了广泛的研究， 多年来，治疗方面取得了进展。也许更 比治疗方法的改进更令人吃惊的是 这极大地提高了人们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的原因和预防的认识， 很多种癌症的治疗方法。在某些情况下，例如 关于吸烟和肺癌的关系， 人们可以通过以下方式大大降低患病的几率 改变一种生活方式在其他情况下，证据不是 人口不那么多，或者影响不那么显著， 但是仍然存在有效的预防信息。总的来说， 相对较少的预防措施可以将癌症发病率从 从少量到大量， 癌如果大部分人服用这些药物， 如果不采取措施，对我们社会的健康将产生巨大的影响。的 关于癌症预防措施的信息肯定还没有 普遍适用。在某些情况下，这是由于缺乏知识， 另一些人甚至不愿意改变生活方式，即使有证据。 该项目描述了一个活跃的信息的生成 一种基于PC和CD- ROM技术的演示方法， 这有可能鼓励行为改变， 比传统的被动信息提供更大的程度 技术.
