Article Synopsis
- In Canada, racialized and immigrant women face barriers to cancer screening due to a lack of awareness, language issues, and socio-economic factors, which has led to under-screening for breast and cervical cancer.
- To combat these challenges, a team implemented virtual educational and screening events specifically for Black women, partnering with community organizations and creating a resource hub for breast cancer awareness.
- The events were well-attended, with over 450 participants per session and high satisfaction rates, leading to increased screening intentions among attendees, suggesting that culturally tailored initiatives may help reduce stigma and improve cancer knowledge in these communities.
