Summary

This study tested whether a two-hour, peer-led workshop with religious messages could encourage Muslim women in North East England and Scotland to get screened for breast, bowel, and cervical cancer. 169 women aged 25-74 who were not up-to-date with all eligible screenings took part. The goal was to see if the approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works. Results will inform a larger future trial.
