Abstrakt: A study led by the University at Buffalo suggests that humor can be an effective tool for engaging people who avoid information about colorectal cancer. The research found that exposure to humorous comic strip cartoons increased the likelihood of individuals agreeing to take an online quiz to assess their personal risk for colorectal cancer or choosing to watch a short video about the disease. The study aimed to find ways to encourage people to get screened for colorectal cancer, which is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths globally. The researchers believe that humor may reduce information avoidance by putting people in a positive mood and acting as a buffer against becoming too upset. [Extracted from the article]
