<p>The purpose of this study was to formulate and implement a cancer education class intervention for Japanese junior high school students and verified its impact on students’ awareness of cancer. The data of 102 third graders (52 boys and 50 girls) from a junior high school in Niigata Prefecture were analyzed. The class was conducted by health and physical education teacher and yogo teacher (school nurse) at the junior high school, using a team-teaching method. The evaluation of the class was performed using a single-arm study design. In October 2019, we conducted surveys one week before the class, at the end of the class, and at three months after the class. Our results showed that the proposed cancer education class evoked short-term changes in junior high school students’ awareness of and knowledge about cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to provide targeted knowledge that will help students to be properly fearful of cancer and recognize the importance of working on cancer prevention. Our proposed cancer education class provided basic materials for cancer education development and implementation in Japan and may be useful for the creation of effective cancer education programs. Our findings provide useful knowledge of cancer education class to school personnel and deepen their understanding.</p>
