Evaluating the implementation of cervical cancer screening programs in low-resource settings globally: a systematized review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Cervical cancer disproportionately burdens low-resource populations where access to quality screening services is limited. A greater understanding of sustainable approaches to implement cervical cancer screening services is needed.

Methods

We conducted a systematized literature review of evaluations from cervical cancer screening programs implemented in resource-limited settings globally that included a formal evaluation and intention of program sustainment over time. We categorized the included studies using the continuum of implementation research framework which categorizes studies progressively from "implementation light" to more implementation intensive.

Results

Fifty-one of 13,330 initially identified papers were reviewed with most study sites in low-res
