Summary
This completed study worked with healthcare workers, officials, and community members in Soweto, South Africa, to figure out the best ways to offer breast cancer screening using simple clinical breast exams in local clinics. Researchers observed clinic workflows and held group discussions to understand what helps or hinders screening. The goal was to create a practical set of strategies that could make routine breast cancer screening more common and effective in primary care settings.
