Students in grades six to eight in Guam will learn about drug prevention related to culture through a new program developed by a team from the Cancer Research Center at the University of Guam.

This project is being conducted under the Pacific Islands Cancer Health Equity Partnership, which is a grant between the National Cancer Institute-funded UOG Cancer Research Center and the University of Hawaii Cancer Center. It is one of the largest research funds currently being undertaken by UOG, totaling $14 million over five years.
As Fuetsan Manhoben references the "power of youth from within" in Chamoru, these videos were created to reflect the core values of CHamoru and other cultures in Guam. The curriculum guides students to use these values to maintain a drug-free and healthy lifestyle.
