Perspectives of women and healthcare providers on facilitators and barriers to cervical cancer screening in the rural Kilimanjaro region Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer can be prevented and treated if detected early through regular screening. However, 88% of women aged 30 to 49 have never been screened in Tanzania. OBJECTIVE: This study explored facilitators and barriers to cervical cancer screening among women and healthcare providers in rural Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, using the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behavior model. METHODS: An explora…
Challenging the assumption that experience- and training-related factors improve accuracy of cervical cancer screening image interpretation
Visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA), although recognized as inaccurate, remains widely used for cervical screening in low-resource settings. Training and image review by more experienced providers − such as the smartphone-enhanced VIA (SEVIA) in Tanzania − are assumed to improve VIA performance, but remain untested against a reference standard of disease. Between June and December 2023, 486 VIA providers in Tanzania completed a…
The burden of generational harm due to alcohol use in Tanzania
Background Rates of prenatal alcohol use in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are increasing despite regulatory bodies urging pregnant women to abstain from alcohol. Tanzania has minimal policies, interventions, and educational programs addressing prenatal alcohol exposure. Consequently, a considerable number of mothers and their fetuses are exposed to alcohol, leading to serious health consequences like fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Our study a…
Tanzanian Women ́s Knowledge About Cervical Cancer and HPV and Their Prevalence of Positive via Cervical Screening Results. Data From a Prevention and Awareness Campaign in Northern Tanzania, 2017 – 2…
There is an alarming lack of knowledge about cervical cancer and, to a lesser Extent, about HPV among the study participants. Having health insurance influenced the level of knowledge significantly. Outreach programs in rural areas appear to target the population in need of health education. Low positive VIA screening results are paralleled with lower HIV rates among the women. We assume that the high density of primary health care coverage in no…
