Intervention name:
In-person peer-led faith-based intervention to encourage breast, bowel, and cervical screening uptake among Muslim women
Description:
The intervention includes a two-hour workshop, delivered in-person, that aims to improve
the uptake of cancer screening among Muslim women.
The workshop consists of four parts:
- A peer-led discussion on barriers and facilitators to breast, cervical and
colorectal cancer screening
- A health information session led by a health professional
- Videos of Muslim women talking about their experiences with cancer screening
- A religious perspective on cancer screening led by a female religious scholar

Online In-person peer-led faith-based intervention to encourage breast, bowel, and cervical screening uptake among Muslim women
Description:
The intervention includes a two-hour workshop, delivered online, that aims to improve the
uptake of cancer screening among Muslim women.
The workshop consists of four parts:
- A peer-led discussion on barriers and facilitators to breast, cervical and
colorectal cancer screening

- Videos of Muslim women talking about their experiences with cancer screening
- A religious perspective on cancer screening led by a female religious scholar
Arm group label:

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.
Detailed description:
Low rates of cancer screening among Muslim women puts them at higher risk of death from
screening since they do not detect cancer early. This study will work to increase the
uptake of cancer screening among Muslim women using two-hour workshops delivered in the
community.
The workshops were developed with the help of 10 Muslim women in Scotland. The workshops
include four parts:
- A discussion on the barriers and facilitators to breast, cervical and colorectal
cancer screening
- A health information session given by a female health provider on cancer screening
- Videos of Muslim women talking about their experiences with cancer screening
- A session given by a female religious scholar to discuss Islamic perspectives on
cancer screening.
Another eighteen Muslim women then took part in the workshops; they gave positive
feedback on the content of the workshops and how the sessions were delivered.
In the feasibility trial, the workshops will be delivered to 200 Muslim women to find out
whether a full-scale randomised-controlled trial can take place. This study will be
carried out with the help of 10 Muslim women who will give advice on the content of the
workshops and plan for implementation; they will also help with the delivery of the
workshops.
It is expected that this study will lead to changes in knowledge and screening uptake
among participants.
