简要总结
The primary aim of this cluster-randomized, wait-list controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of a CHW-led multimedia intervention on the uptake of cervical cancer screening among South Asians women. The secondary aim is to evaluate the effects of CHW-led intervention on the readiness of South Asians women to undergo screening and their beliefs toward cervical cancer screening, which include their perceived susceptibility and seriousness of cancer, perceived benefits and barriers of cancer screening, and self-efficacy to undergo screening. The cost of implementation of such an intervention will also be evaluated.
