Abstract
Inequities in cancer screening were identified in Calgary, AB, by correlating low screening participation with higher material deprivation. This initiative sought to understand awareness of and barriers to breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening to inform the co-design and implementation of an outreach strategy to increase screening awareness. Online focus groups with community members (n = 69) identified five themes, and interviews with community health workers (n = 21) identified four themes. The engagement phase led to a multi-component outreach strategy including a multilingual video series, a media campaign leveraging partner channels and a health worker information package with resources to assist with hosting community-based education sessions.
