Bowel cancer screening resources for Hindi, Punjabi and Vietnamese speaking community members
The latest research from Cancer Council Victoria has discovered that members of the Hindi, Punjabi, and Vietnamese-speaking communities often do not participate in bowel cancer screening tests. This may be due to several reasons:
- They may not be aware of their risk of bowel cancer.
- They may not think they need to take the test if they don't have any symptoms.
- They may believe that their diet shields them from bowel cancer.
To boost bowel screening participation rates, new promotional materials have been created. These materials prominently feature General Practitioners (GPs) who are representative of these communities.
