Abstrakt: A workshop designed to enhance school personnels' knowledge and understanding of childhood cancer was presented by a multidisciplinary team. Pre- and postworksho assessments were conducted of the participants' attitudes and concerns toward children with cancer, their beliefs concerning how they would react to such children, and their knowledge of medical facts and psychosocial impacts of cancer upon the child and their families. The results are examined in terms of changes in participants' knowledge and attitudes. Implications of these findings are discussed.
