Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Percentage uptake of breast cancer screening is measured as attendance (did/did not attend) using the breast cancer screening service hub data, at baseline and three months after the initial invitation letter

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Percentage uptake of breast cancer screening amongst different demographic subgroups measured as attendance (did/did not attend) using the breast cancer screening service hub data at baseline and three months after the initial invitation letter 2. Perceptions of the animation video sent in workstream C measured using an online questionnaire at [timepoint] 3. Barriers to breast cancer screening uptake, and perceptions of communication materials [measured using] data collected during qualitative workshops at [timepoint] 4. Percentage uptake of breast cancer screening [measured using] at baseline and six months after the initial invitation letter 1. Percentage uptake of breast cancer screening amongst different demographic subgroups measured as attendance (did/did not attend) using the breast cancer screening service hub data at baseline and three months after the initial invitation letter 2. Perceptions of the animation video sent in workstream C measured using an online questionnaire which will be available to individuals via a landing page once they have watched the video (link provided in SMS message) 3. Barriers to breast cancer screening uptake, and perceptions of communication materials measured via focus group discussion qualitative data collected during qualitative workshops before the leaflet is made available in workstream B 4.
