Summary
Eswatini has the highest rate of cervical cancer in the world. Cervical cancer screening is effective at reducing deaths from this disease. However, in Eswatini rates of cervical screening are very low, with one study estimating that only 5% of women had ever undergone screening. This project will explore barriers to cervical screening in Eswatini, and develop and test culturally appropriate strategies to improve participation in cervical screening.
