5.1 Information about health consequences

Program delivery (Screening)

Increased CCS among participants

Self-collected CCS uptake compared between arms

3.2 Social support

4.1 Instruction on how to perform a behaviour

6.1 Demonstration of the behaviour

12.5 Adding objects to the environment

Program adherence (Follow-up and treatment)

How effective was the program at increasing CCS follow-up and treatment among participants?

CHW informs participants of their screening results. HR-HPV+ participants are referred for follow-up at HCII or HCIII and asked to set a date for follow-up/treatment.

Increased follow-up and treatment among

HR-HPV+ participants
