Screening Saves Lives campaign
The Screening Saves Lives campaign is a collaboration between National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, BreastScreen WA, and the WA Cervical Cancer Prevention Program, with a focus on the LGBTQIA+ community.
Research indicates that members of the LGBTQIA+ community have lower cancer screening rates than the general population due to hesitancy in seeking out medical care for fear of discrimination.
This campaign aims to increase awareness and participation of screening programs within the LGBTQIA+ community, with the ultimate goal of increasing screening rates and saving lives.
Members from the WA’s LGBTQIA+ community volunteered their time, talent and insight to create a suite of resources that are relevant and authentic to the target group. The Stakeholder Communications Toolkit has been developed to increase awareness of and participation in these lifesaving screening programs.
