Study protocol for the development of a real-time interface showing the availability of breast and cervical cancer services in Ghana
Multiple methods will be employed to achieve the study objectives between December 2023 to November 2024. The first three objectives shall focus on contextual, needs, and feasibility assessments guided by the domains and constructs within the updated Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) during coding and thematic qualitative analysis. Using purposive sampling, breast and cervical cancer care service stakeholders shall be identified for individual in-depth interviews. The fourth objective will involve creating the RTIF prototype and piloting it in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The final and fifth objective shall employ the systems usability scale (SUS) amongst ten randomly selected individual stakeholders to assess the technical functionality of the interface. A nationwide scale-up shall follow this.
