A Hybrid Implementation-Effectiveness Trial of Game Changers for Cervical Cancer Prevention (GC-CCP) in Uganda
REFNo: SS1873ES

1. Conduct a multisite RCT of the GC-CCP network-based advocacy strategy to evaluate effects on CC screening uptake, access to early-stage treatment and prevention of advanced disease among unscreened alters across urban/rural and public/private clinics,4. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Implementing GC-CCP to increase CC screening and low cost, early-stage treatment, and prevent advanced disease, compared to enhanced usual care.,3. Examine mediators and moderators (among index, alter and network characteristics) of intervention effects on (a) alter CC screening; and (b) engagement in CC prevention advocacy of index and alter (1st and 2nd degree) to better understand its multiplier effect on diffusion of advocacy throughout a network.,2. Use a mixed methods approach (semi-structured interviews and administrative clinic data) to examine clinic-, provider-, and client-level barriers and facilitators of GC-CCP Implementation and Sustainment.,
