Culturally aware?

A review of interventions to increase takeup of breast and cervical cancer screening amongst Asian women takes a look at what works, finding that there's no quick fix, although a combination of multiple strategies, such as cultural awareness training for healthcare staff and use of outreach workers, is most effective.  There was little evidence for cost effectiveness or long-term sustainability of any of the programmes.  Another review assesses interventions to improve patient participation in the cancer treatment process for culturally and linguistically diverse groups.
