NCT ID NCT06362993
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two simple approaches to encourage women in rural Ghana to get screened for breast cancer. One approach offers breast cancer screening alongside checks for diabetes and high blood pressure. The other involves sessions with men to change attitudes and increase support for women's health. The goal is to see if these methods are practical and effective for a future larger study.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * ≥20 years. The age cutoff reflects early onset of BC in Ghana and the government's guidelines on screening. Exclusion Criteria: * ever clinically diagnosed with a case of breast cancer, as the study's aim is to reach women who would normally not visit or have experience with the health system with regard to breast cancer. NOTE: For men in the MEGH arm, Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria are: Inclusion Criteria: aged ≥20 years who are identified as male partners or relatives by the women enrolled in the MEGH group.
