Understanding integrated HPV testing and treatment of pre-cancerous cervical cancer in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guatemala and Philippines: study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many low- and-middle-income countries are disproportionately burdened by cervical cancer, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. HPV-DNA testing coupled with treatment with thermal ablation is a recommended screening and precancer treatment strategy, but not enough is known about how this can be effectively implemented in the context of integrated services. The (Scale Up Cervical Cancer Elimination by Secondary prevention Strategy, (SUCCESS) project is conducting a study to understand this approach, integrated into existing women's health services in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guatemala, and the Philippines (2020-2024).

Methods

A hybrid effectiveness-implementation type III mixed-methods observational study design is used to assess feasibility, acceptability
