Muslim Americans Reaching for Health and Building Alliances (MARHABA) was a social marketing-informed, lay health worker (LHW) intervention with patient navigation (PN) designed to increase breast and cervical cancer screening among Muslim women in New York City (NYC). Muslim women were eligible if they were overdue for a mammogram and/or a Pap test. All participants attended a 1 hour educational seminar with distribution of small media health education materials, after which randomization occurred. Women in the Education + Media + PN arm received planned follow-ups from a LHW. Women in the Education + Media arm received no further contact.
