Treatment and study plan

Educational Intervention

Other

Participants will receive hybrid educational intervention on breast and cervical cancer

Primary outcomes

  1. Health Literacy in Cancer Screening as assessed by the Assessment of Health Literacy in Cancer Screening (AHL-C) tool.

    Time frame: Immediately Post intervention

    The dimensions of health literacy adapted from the AHL-C tool are:

    • Numeracy (2 items)
    • Familiarity (9 items)
    • Comprehension (1 item)
    • Navigation (7 items).

    To determine health literacy scores of participants, each item will be scored on a scale of 0 to 1. A higher score would mean a better outcome. Items will be summed for each of the four sub-scales as well as the entire scale (AHL-C) and then determine the mean and standard deviation.

    Assessment will be completed immediately post intervention (after two sessions on breast and cervical cancer)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants recruited from each community partner

    Time frame: Immediately Post intervention
