A study questionnaire was used to collect participants sociodemographic and medical characteristics. Data regarding Pap test status were assessed via medical record review. We used several study instruments to assess changes in WLH's psychosocial outcomes: Health literacy, cancer knowledge, self‐efficacy, cultural beliefs/attitudes and depression. We include the internal consistency for each instrument, which was calculated using the full sample (To assess health literacy, we used familiarity, navigation and numeracy subscales from the Assessment of Health Literacy in Cancer Screening (AHL‐C), a validated comprehensive health literacy instrument with Cancer knowledge was measured by the Cervical Cancer Knowledge (CCK) Test which consists of 10 items (Self‐efficacy related to cervical cancer screening was assessed by the Cervical Cancer Self‐Efficacy scale.Cultural beliefs and attitudes were assessed using a modified nine‐item inventory (5‐point Likert; 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree), which was adopted from the cultural barriers to breast and cervical cancer screening questionnaire.Depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9). PHQ‐9 is a well‐validated and widely disseminated screener for depressive symptoms.We also collected data on the feasibility and acceptability of the CHECC‐uP. The feasibility of the study was examined using multiple sources of data, such as study recruitment and retention, attendance at education sessions and follow‐up phone counselling completion rates. Acceptability was assessed using a questionnaire developed for the purpose of this study. The survey included self‐reported satisfaction with the intervention programme, as well as the receipt (e.g., reading the intervention material), helpfulness and application (e.g., applied contents from the material to get a Pap test) of intervention materials.
