What this Trial Is About
The goal of this project is to prevent unnecessary deaths due to cervical cancer in Senegal. This mixed methods research responds to identified intrapersonal- and community-level barriers to early cervical cancer screening uptake, follow-up, and treatment among women there. Investigators will apply the Dynamic Adaptation Process (DAP) as integrated into the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework to study the adaptation of an evidence-based cervical cancer patient navigation program in urban and rural contexts in Senegal, measure the intervention effectiveness, and evaluate programmatic implementation outcomes. By studying the process of adaptation of a patient navigation program in a low- and middle-income country (LMIC), investigators will build new knowledge while addressing an important public health issue. The project demonstrates innovation by advancing both adaptation and implementation process knowledge of an evidence-based patient navigation intervention in various contexts within a LMIC with a particular focus on how the adaptation responds to cancer-related stigma, misinformation, and women's autonomy in healthcare decision-making. Investigators will build knowledge through local learning which will further the long-term goal to inform the national cervical cancer prevention and control programs in two areas of Senegal and other similar LMICs.
