MARHABA Curriculum Materials
Nadia S. Islam, PhD, conducted Muslim Americans Reaching for Health and Building Alliances (MARHABA) to investigate the barriers and facilitators to breast and cervical cancer screening among Muslim women in New York City. This research was conducted with the NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health.
The Muslim Americans Reaching for Health and Building Alliances (MARHABA) was a study of breast and cervical cancer screening barriers and facilitators among a diverse group of Muslim women in New York City, including women from the African American African, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian Muslim communities. MARHABA used a community-based participatory research framework to collaborate with mosques, community-based organizations and social service agencies in NYC. Study findings informed the development of a large-scale culturally-tailored messaging campaign to promote cancer awareness and screening in diverse NYC Muslim populations.
