Brief Summary

Investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate effectiveness of doctor's counselling using a culturally-responsive pamphlet in increasing mammogram uptake among Malay-Muslim women attending the clinic. Those in intervention arm received 8-minutes doctor's counselling on mammogram and breast cancer while those in control arm received 8-minutes doctor's counselling on usual care - dietary care. Investigators recruited 319 Malay-Muslim women aged 50-69 years old who have not undergone a mammogram in the past 2 years. Investigators used Poisson regression to determine effectiveness of intervention in increasing mammogram uptake and to determine any change in knowledge, perceptions and faith-based beliefs on breast cancer and mammogram after counselling.
