Brief Summary

The goal of this experimental study is to compare mammogram rate and knowledge in healthy women of Malay ethnicity in Singapore. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Will health promotion intervention in the mosque on breast cancer and mammogram lead to mammogram uptake?
• Will health promotion intervention in the mosque on breast cancer and mammogram lead to change in knowledge and perception related to mammogram uptake? Participants will attend an education session in the mosque on breast cancer and mammogram by religious teacher and healthcare professional and will be given an opportunity to voluntarily sign up for mammogram on the Mammobus which will be deployed to the mosque. Researchers will compare with healthy women of Malay ethnicity attending education session in the mosque on healthy lifestyle to see if there is a difference in mammogram uptake, and in knowledge and perception towards breast cancer and mammogram.
