Abstract:
Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers known globally. Due to historically low survival rates and available few treatment modalities, especially in developing nations with high burden incidence of gastric cancers, reducing incidence seems to be the key to reducing mortality. This article has emphasized the planning and visibility of the gastric cancer awareness program. The gastric cancer awareness programs shall help people approach health care facilities if reported to be symptomatic and help to reduce the mortality burden through early detection and access to treatment. Stomach cancer awareness programs involve sensitization of the population regarding symptom recognition, screening, identification of vulnerable people, and preventive measures focused on disease control. Recognition of people at risk, symptom screening protocol along with prevention, and management of gastric cancer is meant to achieve this Gastric cancer control strategy. Gastric cancer awareness campaign, along with identification of risk factors, shall include prevention, early detection, and potential gastric cancer treatments through appropriate programs and activities. Targeting high-risk populations including males, aged more than 40 years, smokers, obese, alcoholic, red-meat eaters, population with low socioeconomic status, and people with a positive family history of gastric cancer along for health education shall be directed towards the annual gastric cancer screening programme either free or subsidized rate. Holistic gastric cancer awareness programs encompass the integrated lifestyle modification approach-addressing a healthy balanced diet; de-addiction for smoking and alcohol and stress-free life. Specific local, country-specific strategies tailored to each country's risk factor profile shall be considered while planning a gastric cancer awareness program.

Abstract:
Background: Although cancer is a global public health problem, maximum impact is on developing economies. In India, socio-cultural factors also operate to add the burden. Aim of the study was to delineate factors causing late presentation of cancers to the point of care.Methods: We gave cancer awareness classes to a village community, preceded by a campaign to attend the classes with the help of a local trustee organisation and primary health center. Data was collected from the attendees using a structured questionnaire prepared to dissect out the awareness about cancer symptoms and concerns about treatment.Results: Only 1.8% of the total population of the area under study attended the classes. Out of the 411 attendees, 323 (78.6%) responded to the questionnaire and of them, 294 (91%) identified the site wise symptoms of cancer clearly and 40 (12.4%) detected their own symptoms warranting cancer screening. Commonest concern was the cost of treatment (40.9%). There were people thinking that cancer is not a life-style disease (3.1%), it is genetic (7.7%), it may be due to fate alone (6.2%), it is contagious (5%), and it cannot be cured (3.7%).Conclusions: Despite high health status indices, literacy rate and high knowledge about cancer symptoms, there are still a lot of superstitions about cancer in Kerala. The most common reason preventing people from approaching health care system with early symptoms of cancer is the fear of cost of treatment. Apart from teaching symptoms of cancer, cancer awareness programs should include familiarisation of various financial aids available for cancer treatment.

Abstract:
Based on a follow up update on a previous study performed 2 decades earlier (Ann SM; 2000; 20(2): 135-136). Portraying alarming results on knowledge and attitudes on breast cancer among healthcare professionals from and university hospital. This review aims to explore the current performance of healthcare professionals towards breast cancer awareness in a potentially developed era. Materials and Methods: This Cross-Sectional pilot tested study was conducted at a university hospital targeting all healthcare professionals between June 2017 - December 2017. Designed structured questionnaires were directly distributed to cover demographic data, high-risk factors, knowledge and attitudes towards breast cancer. The target population was 600. Results: The total respondents were 532(88%). Age ranged between 19-59 years with the mean age of 28 years. These where 200(37%) final year medical students, 118(22%) interns, 60(11%) residents 22(4%), specialist 30(5%), 28(5%) consultants, and 74(13%) nurses. High risk group accounted for 120(23%) of all participants. The highest scores were obtained from the younger group of staff, the interns\students (91%, 97%) as compared to the specialist\consultant categories (75%, 82%). Nurses unexpectedly had shown lower scores in knowledge (71%) which may suggest that the practical education in nursing practice supersedes knowledge in special fields. High risk group did not show significant difference in the overall knowledge scores (84%) yet, they scored higher in attitudes towards BCAP (94%). Conclusion: The necessity for (BCAP) cannot be overstated. The impressive and remarkable improvement of breast cancer awareness coupled with the availability and readiness of human resources assist in the planning, implementing and setting guidelines and strategies for breast cancer early detection programs. It can be declared that our community is equipped with knowledgeable medical staff, who can perform adequately run Breast Cancer Awareness Programs.

Abstract:
Background: Oral cancer is among the top three types of cancers in India. Severe alcoholism, use of tobacco in the form of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and betel nut chewing are the most common risk factors for oral cancer. Often individuals with pre cancer even notice the alterations, such as reduced mouth opening in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), but they are not aware about the causes and consequences of these changes. Awareness about causes and features of oral cancers can be very helpful in prevention, control and early diagnosis of oral cancer.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among students from Mumbai University, India during May-June 2017. Five hundred students were approached to participate in the study of which 400 agreed to participate. Pretested questionnaire was distributed and collected data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23.Results: There were 199 (49%) males and 201 (50%) females in the study and response rate was (80%). Respondents had good knowledge about oral cancer. Seventy four percent (268/362) respondents correctly identified smoking, and tobacco chewing as possible causes of oral cancer. Almost all (96%; 348/362) respondents correctly responded that oral cancer does not spread from person to person through touch or speaking. Seventy two percent (260/362) respondents believed that oral cancer is curable. Significantly higher number of male (98%) compared to female participants answered correctly to questions regarding spread of disease and occurrence of oral cancer in AIDS patients.Conclusions: Participants showed good knowledge about oral cancer. Female participants showed lesser knowledge compared to male counterparts. Details about oral cancer should be incorporated in the undergraduate curriculum and periodic awareness programs should be organized for students.

Abstract:
Purpose Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in India. Our study assessed the level and impact of awareness programs in the adoption of safe practices in prevention and early detection. Methods This assessment was part of a Pink Chain Campaign, the mission of which is to fight cancer. During cancer awareness events from 2013 to 2015 at various women’s colleges in different parts in India, a pretest related to cervical cancer was followed by an awareness program. A post-test was conducted 6 months and 1 year later. Results A total of 872 of 985 teachers participated in the study, for a response rate of 88.5%. Mean age of the population was 42.4 years. There was a significant increase in the level of knowledge regarding cervical cancer at 6 months, which was sustained at 1 year. Regarding cervical cancer screening, knowledge and practice of the Papanicolaou (Pap) test as a screening test for cervical cancer among teachers were changed significantly at 6 months and 1 year. More than 75% of teachers were educated by physicians about the Pap test. At the time of the post-test, there was a significant change in alcohol and smoking habits. The main reasons for not undergoing a screening test were ignorance (50%), lethargic attitude (44.8%), and lack of time (34.6%). Conclusion The level of knowledge of cervical cancer was poor. A significant increase in the level of knowledge of cervical cancer among the population was found after this study. To inculcate safe lifestyle practices, awareness programs should be conducted more widely and frequently.

Abstract:
Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among Indian women. Cervical cancer incidence reduces dramatically when effective screening programs linked with access to treatment are in place and are readily accessible. Peripheral health workers (PHWs) being frontline workers have a major influence on raising awareness among community about acceptability of available screening programmes. This study was thus conducted to assess the awareness of PHWs regarding risk factors, signs and symptoms, early detection and prevention for cervical cancer.Methods: A questionnaire-based study was conducted among 450 PHWs (ASHAs and BHWs). Information was collected regarding their bio-social characteristics, awareness about female cancers, risk factors, signs/symptoms, early detection methods and services available for screening and prevention of cervical cancer.Results: Awareness of different aspects of cervical cancer was found to be very low. Only eight per cent of the PHWs had good awareness score. BHWs obtained statistically significant better mean scores as compared to ASHAs. Few (7.6%) PHWs had received training for any type of female cancers. Only 17 per cent of the PHWs were aware of HPV vaccine availability and only 29 per cent from them could name the vaccine.Conclusions: Majority of the PHWs had poor awareness about cervical cancer and available screening facility in our health system. They had almost no idea of availability of free HPV vaccination at the Sampoorna clinics. This low level of awareness calls for regular training of PHWs on cervical cancer which would ultimately trickle down to the community.

Abstract:
Background With the incidence of anal cancer rising in the United States, particularly among targeted segments of the population, awareness programs specifically designed for those targeted populations are needed. Happy Hiney Health is an innovative, physician-designed program that addresses the needs of MSM sexual health. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the knowledge level of a sample of high-risk individuals in a community setting regarding HPV, anorectal carcinoma, and screening before and immediately following an educational program provided by a physician specialist in anal neoplasia. Specifically, the efficacy of implementing such programs for targeted, high-risk populations was evaluated. Methods: This study was descriptive and exploratory in nature. IRB approval was obtained through Florida International University. The study participants were recruited in October 2012 during a chartered cruise for HIV-infected individuals and their partners/friends (POZ cruise). The educational session was advertised and held during the cruise. The sample included 102 participants. Most all of the attendees reported being HIV positive. An investigator-developed pre- and post-test was distributed to the attendees. Results: A paired-samples t-test was calculated to compare the mean pretest to the mean posttest exam score. The mean on the pretest was 43.14 (s.d. = 11.69), and the mean on the post-test was 91.96 (s.d. = 10.05). A significant increase pretest to post-test was found (t(101) = –29.797, P &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: Findings from this pilot evaluation indicate that educational programs are beneficial in raising awareness related to anal cancer.

Abstract:
Com os avanços científicos, o número de sobreviventes de cancro da mama é cada vez maior, surgindo a necessidade de encontrar respostas terapêuticas que considerem a sua especificidade. Objetivo: Conhecer a viabilidade e os efeitos de um programa de relaxação psicomotora nos indicadores de saúde e bem-estar e na vivência afetiva do corpo de mulheres sobreviventes de cancro da mama. Metodologia: Participaram 18 mulheres (51.67 ± 8.20) sobreviventes de cancro da mama, que foram divididas em dois grupos, um grupo experimental, denominado de Grupo de Relaxação Psicomotora (GRP), que participou numa intervenção psicomotora durante 8 semanas, com frequência bissemanal, e um Grupo Controlo (GC), que não recebeu intervenção e manteve as suas rotinas habituais. Foi avaliada a viabilidade e os efeitos da intervenção nos indicadores de saúde física, saúde mental e bem-estar social e na vivência afetiva do corpo. Resultados: Comparado com o GC, no final da intervenção, o GRP evidenciava melhores indicadores (p≤0.05) de saúde física (vitalidade, domínio físico, fadiga) e mental (domínio psicológico, desempenho emocional, saúde mental, ansiedade, hostilidade, inércia, vigor), de bem-estar social (função social), e de vivência afetiva do corpo (notar as emoções, regulação atencional, consciência emocional, autorregulação, confiar no corpo, apreciação corporal). Na última sessão verificou-se ainda uma diminuição das concentrações de cortisol das participantes. Conclusões: Os resultados sugerem que a intervenção de relaxação psicomotora é uma abordagem não farmacológica viável, bem tolerada e benéfica para a saúde, o bem-estar e a vivência afetiva do corpo de mulheres sobreviventes de cancro da mama; ABSTRACT: The effects of a psychomotor intervention program on health and well-being indicators of breast cancer survivors. With the scientific advances, the number of breast cancer survivors is increasing, emerging the need to find therapeutic responses that consider their specificity. Objective: To know the feasibility and the effects of a psychomotor relaxation program on the health and well-being indicators and in the body affective experience of women breast cancer survivors. Methodology: Eighteen women (51.67 ± 8.20) who are breast cancer survivors participated, and were divided into two groups, an experimental group, denominated the Psychomotor Relaxation Group, which participated in psychomotor intervention for 8 weeks, with bi-weekly frequency, and a Control Group (CG), that received no intervention and maintained their usual routines. Having evaluated the feasibility and the effects of the intervention on physical health, mental health, social well-being indicators and on body affective experience. Results: Compared with the CG, at the end of the intervention, the GRP showed better indicators (p≤0.05) of physical health (vitality, physical domain, fatigue) and mental (psychological domain, emotional performance, mental health, anxiety, hostility, inertia, vigour), social well-being (social function), and body affective experience (noticing emotions, attentional regulation, emotional awareness, self-regulation, trusting the body, body appreciation). In the last session there was also a decrease in the cortisol concentrations of the participants. Conclusions: The results suggest that the psychomotor relaxation intervention is a viable non-pharmacological approach, well tolerated and beneficial for the health, well-being, and body affective experience of breast cancer survivors.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立台北護理學院<br>生死教育與輔導研究所<br>98<br>According to statistical report from Department of the Health, there were total 38,913 people died from cancer in 2008, composed of 27.3% total deaths. More than 106 cancer-related mortalities occur every single day. Therefore, it is important to improve the life quality and maintain dying dignity in terminal cancer patients when facing increasing cancer deaths. The hospice combined-care program has been implemented since seven years ago. Inevitably psychological conflicts and also learning needs will be raised when ward nursing staff caring the terminal cancer patients. Also, they will need to adjust themselves to different principles throughout the period of caring terminal cancer patients. This study aims to investigate the nursing staffs’ psychological state, patient care, work needs and self adjustment, as well as the relationship to basic character and professional/educational experience. This cross-sectional study was carried out to the nursing staffs in a single medical center by structured questionnaires and data was analyzed by SPSS/windows 16.0 package. The results demonstrated that: 1) 70 to 80% of nursing staff have mild/occasional negative response, behavior, and happiness, self-fulfillment, implementation, and sleep difficulties in the lowest percentage. Staffs with hospice expertise have lower scores of negative responses in the psychological state and behavior; 2) nursing staffs have better familiarity in physiological care than psychological, spiritual and social aspects. Staffs with oncology expertise have better familiarity in caring terminal cancer patients; 3) nursing staffs have higher work needs in physiological care than psychological, spiritual, and social aspects. Staffs in hematology/oncology wards have higher work needs than those in other wards; 4 ) more than 98% of nursing staffs agree to be helpful in having positive accommodated behaviors, in contrast to 45% in having negative ones. It is expected that, from this study, the nursing staffs can comprehend the current situation after implementation of hospice combined-care program, and help to improve the system to be more integrated. This will not only to advance the nursing staffs’ professionalism and self-confidence, but also be benefit to cancer patients and their families. In addition, the results can be provided as reference to schools and health care administration directors.

Abstract:
Cancer treatment has become increasingly complex with the rapid development of new therapies and treatment modalities. Guidelines for optimum cancer treatment are produced by several organizations, but ensuring that the patient receives the treatment requires both provider awareness and patient support to follow a complex treatment plan. An individual diagnosed with cancer must simultaneously come to terms with the diagnosis, make difficult shared decisions about treatment with his or her provider, and commence treatment in a matter of a few days or weeks. Ensuring optimum treatment is an increasingly complex process that involves multiple people and steps. Well-documented disparities exist in the receipt of and adherence to appropriate treatment by demographic and social factors, such as age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geography. This case study provides an example of how the process of providing optimum cancer treatment may be improved through a technology-enhanced navigation program.

Abstract:
Awareness of cultural differences when communicating with cancer patients has become an increased focus of attention in European countries. The historically paternalistic approach by doctors in knowing what is best and deciding what should be done for a patient has been replaced by a shared decision-making approach, with attention being given to cultural and individual patient needs. In a rapidly changing world, with increased immigration, many European countries are becoming multiethnic and multicultural. It is important to understand the ways in which cultures, language, thoughts, customs, beliefs, values, religion, and illness influence communication within the context of the doctor-patient relationship. These issues should be considered in the development of European communication skills training programmes and guidelines. In this chapter, some of the main aspects of doctor-patient communication in a culturally diverse Europe will be discussed, and some training initiatives presented.

Abstract:
In the past few decades, due to ever increasing needs and greed of man, our environmental quality is deteriorating day by day. Global warming, climate change, hurricanes, melting of icebergs, floods, acid rain, and extinction of flora and fauna is all due to environmental disturbance. Environmental issues have become serious health threats to humans. Pollution is the main reason behind many types of cancer, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases, which sometimes lead to death. Environment conservation has become the priority of every country worldwide. This problem, which we are facing today, is due to lack of environmental awareness among the individuals and lack of knowledge. This problem can be solved if environmental awareness amongst the people could be raised. The advantage of environment awareness is its contribution to public support for government action in environment policy and management. Environmental awareness can be raised with the educational and informative programs. This chapter explores the role of social media in raising environmental awareness.

Nowadays, colorectal cancer prevention strategies play an essential role in reducing the incidence and mortality of the cases. A well-designed and establishment of the clinical pathway of screening programme needed in all country. Types of screening tools used may vary between the country with the use of FOBT and colonoscopy. The standard guideline related to screening programme such as for high-risk group should be emphasized more as compared to the low-risk group. The uptake of screening for CRC should be highlighted more as the program have showed a significantly reduction of the cases and mortality. The barrier of CRC screening uptake mainly due to poor awareness, discomfort, low physician recommendation, low socioeconomic and improper screening programme. Therefore others prevention strategies beside screening program such as health education and interactive intervention strategies need to be empower.

Abstract:
Breast cancer remains one of the most frequent cancers affecting women globally. The incidence of breast cancer is rising due to improved screening and awareness, and there is epidemiological data signifying an interaction among environmental and biological risk factors in the development and progress of breast cancer. There is substantial experimental data of the protective effect of micronutrient antioxidants for breast cancer via alteration of many signaling pathways and molecular events including inducing apoptosis, and inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion. The main focus of this review is to examine past and current epidemiological evidence that suggests that nutritional micronutrients with antioxidant properties in dietary or supplemental form may be beneficial in protecting women against breast cancer and affect outcomes.

Abstract: Breast cancer mortality can be decreased by increasing awareness, and by improving access to early detection, screening programmes, and advanced care, as long as appropriate infrastructure and properly trained health care professionals are available. Low-income countries face many challenges, including spreading community awareness that breast cancer is a treatable disease. It must be clear that it is potentially curable, when discovered early enough and with the presence of basic pathology services and treatment options. The Breast Health Global Initiative consensus made clear recommendations to optimize breast care in low- and middle-resource countries.

Abstract:
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers have become a major health concern for most countries around the world. Different elements such as social, biological, and environmental cause the NCDs. But the only way that one can intentionally modify to avoid these diseases is the desire to reduce risk factors for physical activity, tobacco, and diet. Several prevention strategies have been launched worldwide thorough governmental programs by implementing policies/laws. However, these programs don't integrate active communicate participation and support with the social community.

Abstract:
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers have become a major health concern for most countries around the world. Different elements such as social, biological, and environmental cause the NCDs. But the only way that one can intentionally modify to avoid these diseases is the desire to reduce risk factors for physical activity, tobacco, and diet. Several prevention strategies have been launched worldwide thorough governmental programs by implementing policies/laws. However, these programs don't integrate active communicate participation and support with the social community. This chapter aims to bring out the priority of enhancing the level of public awareness of NCDs. To ensure public responsiveness, the focus of this research is to create an effective solution to prevent risky behavior. The authors focus on the construction of “Sahtek,” a social media solution developed on the fundamentals of social marketing, to better coach and promote awareness of NCDs prevention.

Abstract:
Abstract: Breast cancer has received remarkable attention at the global level, and as a result, substantial progress has been made over the past several years in the diagnosis and management of this disease. Emphasis on breast cancer screening and advances in breast imaging have led to increased early breast cancer detection. Minimally invasive sampling procedures such as fine needle aspiration biopsy and core needle biopsy have almost replaced open surgical biopsy. Breast conserving therapy and sentinel lymph node biopsy have become attractive alternatives to mastectomy and total axillary dissection. Advances in molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies have opened more effective options for individualised breast cancer therapy. In addition, discovery of breast cancer genes and recognition of breast cancer risk factors have provided opportunities for introducing various risk reduction modalities. Similarly, enhanced public awareness and the efforts of patient advocates have resulted in increased funding for breast cancer research. More importantly, integrated breast cancer care via a multidisciplinary approach has provided the foundation for the establishment of breast centres around the globe. The above-mentioned efforts have been complemented by the role that pathologists have played in the realization of these advancements. Pathologists have been central in the development, validation, implementation, and appropriateness of providing diagnostic and predictive/prognostic information. Throughout the years, pathologists have evolved from being a morphologist into becoming clinicians/scientists with in-depth understanding of integrated breast cancer care, research, and education. Currently, pathologists make the ultimate determination about the nature of a disease and help design the course of therapy for individualized patients.

Abstract:
Objective: To see the awareness about cancer in women among ASHA workers. Place of Study: Awareness Sessions at Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi. Background: ASHA workers are the first point of contact for women in the community &amp; bridge the back between the hospital and women. They have been instrumental in the success of the family planning programme &amp; polio eradication program in India. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire about educational status, awareness about breast &amp; cervical cancer statistics, methods of screening and diagnosis was distributed to Accredited Social Health Activists appointed by the government at two educational sessions organized at Safdarjung hospital. Results: Of the 200 ASHA workers attending, 188 completed the questionnaire. Their educational status ranged from 7th standard to post-graduate, majority had studied up to 10th standard. Their sources of information were mostly television and mobile phones, 23% had knowledge about internet, 36% were using Whats app. Only 28% knew about the commonest cancer in Indian women. Regarding breast cancer, 63% were aware of self examination of breasts, 41% knew the frequency of self examination; awareness about symptoms of breast cancer was prevalent in 46%, 24% knew about risk factors of breast cancer. Regarding Cervical Cancer, 28% knew about risk factors, 22% knew about symptoms of cervical cancer; 19% knew about screening methods for cervical cancer, 9.5% knew the screening intervals. Conclusion: Health education about cancer prevention should start at the primary school level. Special educational &amp; motivational sessions for ASHA workers could help in cancer prevention programs.

Abstract:
HPV - short for human papillomavirus - is a virus capable of infecting the mucous membranes and skin, being the most prevalent involved on Sexually Transmitted Diseases and the main cause of Cervical Cancer. However, reaching out to and inviting all eligible people for cervical cancer screening and vaccination against HPV is a difficult task. A possible solution is the use of social inducement and gamification through modern means of communication, which may encourage the attendance of unscreened or unvaccinated people on related programs. Therefore, this paper presents the development of a serious game for the Android platform designed for children and preteens with the purpose of foresting HPV and Cervical Cancer awareness, informationseeking, and communication, thus possibly increasing the number of vaccinated and screened people.

Abstract:
Background: India has the world’s largest load of cervical malignancy. A lot of it can be attributed to lack of cervical cancer screening awareness among the general population. The Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) are grass root workers who have good reach in the remote areas, where health care facilities are lacking. Training these ASHAs may increasethe general awareness about cervical cancer screening. Methods: We organized a training programme of 250 ASHA workers in a tertiary care hospital with aim of improving their knowledge and attitude about cervical cancer screening which will eventually improve their practise of training women in general population. It comprised of 5 lectures in language they understand, slogans, posters, question answer session etc. A test comprising of 17 questions was conducted before and after session to check their knowledge and attitude. Results: There was an overall improvement of 25% in knowledge of the ASHAs i.e. 38% answers were correct in pre-test and 63% were correct in post-test. Questions were pertaining to symptomatology, risk factors, screening methods, their utility and prerequisites of performing the screening tests, when and how often to repeat. Improvement was seen in all the areas. There was improvement in attitude too and most of them wanted themselves (98%), their relatives (100%) and the woman within their area (98%) to be screened for cancer cervix. Conclusion: It was a small initiative and successful result was obtained after the training session of ASHAs. The impact on general population needs further evaluation.

Abstract:
Objective: This work aims to present to the Plan of Communications and Relationship with Communities implemented by TBG as a tool for the Bolivia-Brazil Pipeline integrity management. Scope: In studies carried out by the European Gas Pipeline Incident Data Group (EGIG), global statistics demonstrate that most accidents involving pipelines are caused by improper actions of third parties. The expansion of sugar cane crops and the improvements in utilities, such as telephone, electricity, water and sewage services in the cities along the pipeline have increased the number of events of interference in the right-of-way. These facts have evidenced the need for creating a Plan of Communications and Relationship with landowners and neighboring communities to assure the continuous monitoring of the Bolivia-Brazil Pipeline right-of-way. The Plan of Communications and Relationship with Communities is designed to reduce the risk of accidents caused by the improper action of third parties. The strategy of action is focused on strengthening the relationships among the right-of-way technical staff, TBG subcontractors, and other publics affected by the pipeline. It also encourages the use of the toll-free Gas Hotline (0800 026 0400) - TBG main communication channel with communities. The intensive publicity targeted at specific audiences ensures that local populations and other relevant publics raise their awareness on the importance of preserving the right-of-way, and the precautions that must be taken in their neighborhoods, mainly in cases of interferences, such as urban improvement projects and farming activities by keeping permanent contact with TBG through the Gas Hotline. This work will also present the interfaces among the right-of-way technical staff, the corporate communications team, and specific target audiences; communication resources, guidelines, technical training programs, Gas Hotline monitoring and management plans, indicators of services provided to the communities and landowners, and the results of the Gas Pipeline Management Program.
