Strategies to Close the Gap From Cervical Cancer Diagnosis to Treatment in Botswana
This study is looking at different ways to help women in Botswana get timely treatment for cervical cancer. Researchers are testing four approaches: Clinic Outreach (where the lab contacts your clinic about results), Enhanced Outreach (where the lab contacts both your clinic and you directly), Low-Touch Strategy (text message reminders), and High-Touch Strategy (text message reminders plus phone support). The goal is to see which of these strategies helps women start treatment within 90 days of being diagnosed. You might be able to join if you are a woman aged 18 or older, have a new diagnosis of invasive cervical cancer confirmed by the National Health Laboratory in Botswana, and are a citizen of Botswana. The study aims to enroll 610 participants, but its current status is unclear.
