Cost-effectiveness of an HPV self-collection campaign in Uganda
With the availability of a low-cost HPV DNA test that can be administered by either a healthcare provider or a woman herself, programme planners require information on the costs and cost-effectiveness of implementing cervical cancer screening programmes in low-resource settings under different models of healthcare delivery. Using data from the START-UP demonstration project and a micro-costing approach, we estimated the health and economic impact…

Qualitative study of the feasibility of HPV vaccine delivery to young adolescent girls in Vietnam
The learning from Vietnam has identified critical elements for successful vaccine delivery that can provide a model for other countries to consider during their planning of national rollout of HPV vaccine
Health seeking behavior for cervical cancer in Ethiopia
Lack of awareness and health seeking behavior for cervical cancer was common due to misconceptions about the cause of the disease. Profound social consequences and exclusion were common. Access to services for diagnosis and treatment were poor for a variety of psycho-social, and health system reasons. Prior to the introduction or scale up of cervical cancer prevention programs, socio-cultural barriers and health service related factors that influ…
Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Inaccuracies
Although Maine et al. provided a comprehensive overview of the state of cervical cancer prevention today,1 their article presented some inaccuracies and tended to downplay the benefits of vaccination and magnified its challenges. For example, the authors failed to acknowledge that immunization has much less socioeconomic variation than screening does and has very little evidence of gender bias in particular. More importantly, their calculations a…
Assessing participation of women in a cervical cancer screening program in Peru
In this setting, the presence of and contact with health services played a role in increasing the participation in screening of women not previously screened or not screened in the past 5 years
Making the case for cervical cancer prevention
Cervical cancer is a major cause of suffering and premature death among women in the developing world, yet it is largely prevented in most higher-income countries. From an equity perspective, cervical cancer is unequally distributed globally in ways that are unnecessary, avoidable and unjust. Although cost-effectiveness analyses demonstrate that prevention measures are justified in low-resource countries, affordability and lack of prioritisation …
Reconsidering the Feasibility of Papanicolaou and Alternative Screening Tests for Low-Resource Countries
Despite the commendable commitment of Suba et al.1 to cervical cancer prevention in developing countries, several key conclusions in their article are made on the basis of inaccurate and misleading use of references. For example, they cite an International Agency for Research on Cancer document2 as saying that Papanicolaou test–based programs have been “operational” in developing countries for more than 30 years. However, no operational programs …
Cervical cancer
Although highly preventable, cervical cancer is a leading cause ofillness and death from cancer among women in many regions, 80 per cent of deaths occur in women in developing countries. Scarce resources, limited infrastructure and competing health priorities have prevented most developing country health systems from implementing successful cervical cancer prevention and control programmes. Existing resources have typicallybeen allocated to high-…
Antenatal screening
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To assess the predictive utility of obstetric risk factors for identifying before the onset of labour those women at high risk of obstetric complications in a developing world setting, where home deliveries predominate and emergency transport is scarce. DESIGN--Risk factors derived from two population based, case-control studies (one of cephalopelvic disproportion and one of post partum haemorrhage), carried out in Zimbabwe were …
Underutilization of Health Centers in Rural Mexico
A short field study of Durango, Mexico, is reported as a case study of a qualitative approach to evaluation. This approach uses a combination of methods, including in depth interviews, questionnaires, and participant/observation, to achieve a deeper understanding of program functioning and to provide a perspective unavailable from traditional quantitative measures. Recommendations for additional training for auxiliary nurses are offered
