Impact / Expected Impact
More local South Asians would become aware of the benefit of cervical cancer screening utilisation, and the barriers these individuals would face in accessing cancer screening (such as language barrier) would be reduced. Therefore, it is likely that these South Asians would exhibit a higher level of willingness to undergo cervical cancer screening, thereby enhancing the cervical cancer screening uptake among this population.
