Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of integrating into existing health systems, provision of HPV screening and treatment of pre-cancerous cervical cancer lesions with ablative treatments in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guatemala, and the Philippines. Study findings will inform implementation of cervical cancer prevention and treatment services as part of a global effort to eliminate cervical cancer, with particular relevance for low-and-middle income countries. This will inform country strategy and guidelines on offering integrated cervical cancer prevention and treatment services in a manner that is culturally sensitive, client oriented, and system appropriate.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Research question:

1. How feasible is it to implement integrated HPV testing (including self-collection of samples) and ablative treatment of lesions precancerous cervical cancer lesions among HPV+ women aged 30-49 years (general population) and 25-49 years (WLHIV), leveraging on the existing health systems in the four study countries?
2. What is the acceptability of HPV screening through self-collection or clinician collection of sample, and ablative treatment of precancerous lesions among women accessing cervical cancer services in the study sites?
3. What is the cost of implementing integrated cervical cancer screening and precancer treatment services (Supply: counselling, HPV testing, treatment, training health care providers, etc.), and user-related costs (travel, out of pocket expenses opportunity costs, etc.) in the SUCCESS project supported sites?
4. Which factors influence the successful implementation of integrated HPV screening and treatment services (e.g. perceptions, experience of care, religious beliefs, culture, individual characteristics, availability of services, cost, etc.)?

Methodology:

We will utilize a hybrid effectiveness implementation Type III study design, using mixed methods approach. In Phase I, 2,227 women are enrolled in health facilities in each of the four countries (disaggregated by general population and WLHIV) and follow those who are HPV positive to determine the completion of screen-to-treat within three months. In Phase II focusing on community self-sampling, 8,694 are enrolled in Burkina Faso, Guatemala and the Philippines.

Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected from clients, service providers, key stakeholders, and secondary analysis of service delivery including laboratory data will be analyzed to assess acceptability and feasibility of implementing integrated cervical cancer screening and treatment services.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

HPV positive women

Women aged 25-49 years seeking offered HPV testing (either self-collection or clinician collection of samples) and treatment of precancerous lesions as part of service package in study facilities will be enrolled in the study and interviewed at different time points.

A subset of the women screened will be selected for in-depth interview to gather data on: ease of use of self-collection kits for cervical cancer screening, receipt of the test results, and treatment for precancer. Another subset of women will be selected after HPV screening to participate in client exit interview.

HPV testing

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Interviews will be conducted among women from the general population and HIV+ women after screening for HPV. A small subset of participants will be interviewed after receiving treatment for precancer. HPV test results and outcome of the precancer treatment if indicated will be documented.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Women: Participants will be women residing in the study area, seeking services at SUCCESS project-supported health facilities, and meet the eligibility criteria to be enrolled in one of the components of the study (i.e, prospective component, client exit interviews and/or in-depth interviews).
* Service providers: Health care personnel working in the project facilities at the time of the study providing services related to cervical cancer screening and treatment. Facility in-charges and laboratory personnel are included in this category.
* Key informants: Health program managers, and community mobilizers at either local or national level in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guatemala, and Philippines.
* Men: Male members of the community (married or cohabiting with female partners) to gather their perspectives on the implementation of the cervical cancer prevention and treatment activities.

Exclusion Criteria
