title: For a healthy tomorrow.
abstract: When health education becomes mired in the past, our cause is lost. Education must be dynamic to respond to constantly changing needs. All changes in our approach to educating young people about cancer have been carefully planned. Changes in the American Caner Society's program have enabled us to reach more young people than ever before, and these young people are more involved in learning about cancer and meople, they have a fear-free attitude about the disease that we are encouraging them to maintain throughout their lives. The more young people know about cancer and their own role in preventing or treating the disease, the less chance there is that cancer will pose a serious threat to their health as adults.
