Summary

This study tested a program called Game Changers for Cervical Cancer Prevention (GC-CCP) in Uganda. It trained women who had already been screened to encourage their friends and family to get screened too. The trial involved 936 participants and compared the program to usual care. The goal was to see if this peer advocacy approach could increase screening rates among unscreened women.
