A mixed-methods preliminary evaluation of an innovative treatment for cervical precancer in El Salvador’s screen-and-treat program
The new treatment (TA) was highly acceptable to participants. However, there may be a need for additional provider training to support TA adoption and fidelity to program guidelines, while patients would benefit from more effective counseling. As LMICs strive to meet cervical cancer elimination targets set by the World Health Organization, it is expected that innovations will be quickly introduced to clinical practice. Thus, it is critical to understand the factors that impact their implementation and sustainability in these settings.
