Patient navigation program for cervical cancer screening in Senegal

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project aims to prevent cervical cancer deaths in Senegal by addressing barriers to screening and treatment among women. Using a mixed methods approach, the study will adapt an evidence-based patient navigation program to fit both urban and rural contexts in Senegal. The Dynamic Adaptation Process will be employed to evaluate the program's effectiveness and implementation outcomes. The study will involve a stepped-wedge randomized pragmatic trial to assess the impact of navigation services on screening rates and treatment access.
