Recent studies conducted in the local community indicate that the uptake rates of breast and cervical cancer screening among South Asian ethnic minorities are lower than those of the general population. The development of interventions to promote these minorities' awareness of breast and cervical health and the importance of cancer screening is therefore required. This study protocol aims to develop culturally sensitive multimedia interventions to promote awareness of breast and cervical cancer prevention among South Asian women in Hong Kong, and to evaluate the outcomes of such interventions using a Reach-Effectiveness-Adoption-Implementation-Maintenance framework. By using a multimedia approach and developing socio-culturally relevant and linguistically appropriate educational materials, information related to cancer and accessible preventive measures for breast and cervical cancer is expected to be disseminated more effectively among South Asian women and ultimately increase their awareness of engaging in healthy lifestyles and taking part in cancer screening tests. Successful engagement of community partners will enhance the future sustainability of the project.
近期在当地社区开展的研究表明，南亚少数族裔群体中乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查的接受率低于普通人群。因此，需要制定干预措施，以提高这些少数族裔群体对乳腺和宫颈健康以及癌症筛查重要性的认识。本研究方案旨在开发具有文化敏感性的多媒体干预措施，以提高香港南亚女性对乳腺癌和宫颈癌预防的认识，并使用“覆盖-效果-采纳-实施-维持”框架评估此类干预措施的效果。通过采用多媒体方法并开发与社会文化相关且语言合适的教育材料，预计与癌症相关的信息以及乳腺癌和宫颈癌的可及预防措施将在南亚女性中得到更有效的传播，并最终提高她们对采取健康生活方式和参与癌症筛查测试的认识。社区伙伴的成功参与将增强该项目未来的可持续性。
