The project funded by the National Cancer Institute focuses on increasing cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV in Ghana by implementing and evaluating an evidence-based HPV self-sampling and communication intervention through a hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial.
Description
This project aims to develop and adapt implementation strategies to maximize the success of the HPV self-sampling and 3R communication model in increasing health system adoption, patient uptake, and sustainment of cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV in Ghana. It involves developing a culturally appropriate health system implementation plan, provider training content, assessing the effectiveness of the HOPE 2.0 intervention through a hybrid type 2 randomized controlled trial, and evaluating the impact on screening behaviors and provider self-efficacy.
