Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Health Literacy in Cancer Screening as assessed by the Assessment of Health Literacy in Cancer Screening (AHL-C) tool.

The dimensions of health literacy adapted from the AHL-C tool are: 1. Numeracy (2 items) 2. Familiarity (9 items) 3. Comprehension (1 item) 4. Navigation (7 items). To determine health literacy scores of participants, each item will be scored on a scale of 0 to 1. A higher score would mean a better outcome. Items will be summed for each of the four sub-scales as well as the entire scale (AHL-C) and then determine the mean and standard deviation. Assessment will be completed immediately post intervention (after two sessions on breast and cervical cancer)
