Improving Muslim Women's Uptake of Cancer Screening (IMCAN)

Summary

The goal of this non-randomised trial is to test how a workshop that includes religiously-tailored messages can help increase the uptake of breast, colorectal and cervical cancer screening among Muslim women in North East England and Scotland. The results of this trial will inform the development of a full-scale randomised-controlled trial. Participants in this study will be asked to take part in a two-hour workshop, deliver either online or in-person.
