Introduction:
“Explore the connection between nationality, ethnicity, and cancer risk among University of South Wales students for tailored intervention insights.” Existing literature indicates that cancer risk variables, such as tobacco use, food, physical activity, and alcohol use, may vary across different cultural and ethnic backgrounds (Pampel et al., 2022). However, insufficient study has been undertaken specifically among university students, and there is a need to fill this knowledge gap.
Research Question:
How does the individual behavioral risk of cancer change across different nationalities and ethnic groupings among students at the University of South Wales?
Methodology:
This study used a cross-sectional methodology to gather information from several undergraduates at the University of South Wales. To evaluate potential cancer-related behavioural risk factors, such as smoking, diet, exercise, and alcohol consumption, the research team used a standardised questionnaire (Pampel et al., 2020). Questions about respondents’ nationality and ethnicity were also included in the poll. Different student groups were represented because to the widespread data collecting across campus. The data was analysed using both descriptive as well as inferential statistics. We used chi-square tests and logistic regression models to examine whether there was any correlation between respondents’ country of origin, race/ethnicity, and specific risky behaviours. The cutoff for statistical significance was p 0.05 (Lee et al., 2017).
Results:
The present study aimed to explore the relationship between nationality, ethnic groups, and individual behavioral risk of cancer among University of South Wales students. The findings revealed important insights into the association between these factors and cancer-related behaviors. The distribution of participants across different nationalities and ethnic groups within the University of South Wales student population (Khan and Carpenter, 2018). Analysis of the data indicated variations in tobacco use among different nationalities and ethnic groups. The study found that dietary habits varied significantly across nationalities and ethnic groups. Physical activity levels differed among nationalities and ethnic groups within the student sample. The study revealed variations in alcohol consumption patterns across different nationalities and ethnic groups (Martinez et al., 2017). These findings highlight the complex relationship between nationality, ethnic groups, and individual behavioral risk of cancer among University of South Wales students. They emphasize the need for targeted interventions and culturally sensitive strategies to address specific risk behaviors within different student populations.

Implications:
The findings of this study have important implications for various fields, including public health, health promotion, professional practice, student health, and healthcare. Understanding the relationship between nationality, ethnic groups, and individual behavioral risk of cancer can help shape targeted interventions and educational programs (Kwok et al. 2017). It enables healthcare professionals and practitioners to develop culturally sensitive strategies to reduce cancer risk and promote healthier behaviors among university students
