Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this randomised feasibility trial is to examine feasibility and acceptability of a co-produced and faith-placed intervention to increase uptake of breast, cervical, bowel, and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening among Black communities in the North East of England, Leeds and Scotland, United Kingdom (UK). Participants will be invited to attend a two-hour workshop at each of the three study sites and will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. This 24-month feasibility study will inform the development of a full-scale randomised-controlled trial co-produced for Black people that uses culturally appropriate messages that support screening for early diagnosis in this underserved group.
