This panel explores various studies and interventions to explore and address the burden of cervical cancer from the community-based to the national level. Presentations include: an integrated Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control program in Mozambique; a study assessing the feasibility of developing effective cervical cancer prevention programs for women in remote coffee-farming communities by improving access to services through community-based outreach and facilitation, and the development of Single Visit Approach (SVA) services in local clinics; a feasibility study of the integration of cervical cancer screening consultations into the practice of primary care physicians that also explores if consultation is associated with increased patient knowledge/favorable attitudes about screening; an initiative to foster regional Training Excellence Centers (TECs) in Latin America where carefully selected service providers are trained in visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and cryotherapy using validated training materials and then serve as master trainers and support implementation of services.
