Question

I am writing a research proposal on the below topic.

Research question:

How do Muslim women's internalized views of religion, science, modesty, and reproductive healthcare inform the access of their American born female children to mammograms for breast cancer?

Hypothesis:

Muslim born women who moved to the United states strongly hold on to their values of their religion, their views on science and modesty, and their apprehension to reproductive healthcare which impacts their female American born children's access to quality mammogram screenings.

I am having muslim mothers and their daughter pretake in a questionaire for my research proposal but I am not sure what questions to ask. could you help me? I want to ask questions to get a sense of what the muslim mothers taughter their daughters about mammograms and what their views on it.
