Initiatives to increase breast and cervical cancer–related knowledge, screening, and health behaviours among Black women
Both event series provided targeted opportunities for Black women to learn about prevention, risk factors, resources, and screening related to women's cancers. It is possible that, over time, such culturally tailored events can reduce or remove the stigmas associated with cancer and decrease differences in cancer-related knowledge and behaviours between racialized and non-racialized groups.
