📢 STOP PRESS! Findings from ABACus, a Yorkshire Cancer Research funded RCT of a targeted cancer awareness intervention for adults living in the UK’s deprived communities [1/6] Kate Brain SAPC #sapcasm 👇

Summary The Health Check is a viable, cost-effective intervention to increase cancer symptom awareness & encourage early presentation. We aim to work with cancer charities & other community partners to roll out the Health Check more widely. More: bit.ly/2Zlkaui [6/6]

We're proud to fund this health check project aimed at improving the early diagnosis of cancer in disadvantaged communities. It's fantastic to see these results. Kate Brain

Today!!

It takes time but development and feasibility are important stages -iterative, many stakeholders gatekeepers - coproduction VERY important in intervention development says @KateBrain at @uksbm #uksbmCancerSIG

Building relationships with community organisations and being flexible in methods of recruitment and data collection pay off. But as exemplified by Kate Brain Mohamad M. Saab @vicky_woof it’s resource and time intensive. Partnership building takes time! #uksbmcancersig webinar

3) Yvonne Moriarty will also be delivering a 3 minute elevator pitch on the findings from the ABACus study 1:30-2:35pm Yorkshire Cancer Research CTRCardiffUni
