Virtual peer mentoring aims to boost cervical cancer screening in ethiopian HIV clinics

NCT ID NCT07678047

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a virtual training and peer-mentoring program called Project ECHO can help healthcare providers in Ethiopia improve cervical cancer screening and treatment for women living with HIV. The program focuses on using HPV self-sampling, a simpler screening method. Researchers will compare screening and treatment rates before and after the training to see if it makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Project ECHO (virtual training and peer-mentoring program)

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could improve cervical cancer screening and treatment rates for women with HIV in low-resource settings, potentially saving lives.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage implementation study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training program may not lead to lasting changes in clinical practice.
