EQUITA - A Feasibility Trial of a Faith-placed Intervention to Increase Screening Uptake in Black Adults
Sponsor: University of Sunderland
Summary
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.

Interventions
Faith-placed intervention to promote breast, cervical, bowel, and AAA screening uptake in Black communities.
The intervention includes a two-hour workshop, delivered in person to the entire congregation, that aims to promote the uptake of breast, cervical, bowel, and AAA screening among Black communities in the North East of England, Leeds and Scotland. However, we will only include effectiveness data (i.e., surveys and screening uptake) from those who meet the study eligibility criteria. The intervention will be a peer-led, multidimensional community workshop. It will incorporate multiple components that tackle barriers to screening and that are present in the existing IMCAN and PROCAN-B interventions, if the PICE group believe these are helpful, such as health education about breast, cervical, bowel and AAA screening delivered by a healthcare provider with an opportunity to ask questions, personal testimonials through survivors' stories, as well as members of the community discussing experiences of screening, and utilising community and peer support and religious leaders.
