Conditions

Cervical Cancer

Summary

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate Game Changers for Cervical Cancer Prevention (GC-CCP) for increasing cervical cancer (CC) screening advocacy among intervention recipients (index participants) towards female social network members, and uptake of CC screening among enrolled female social network members (alter participants) who have not previously been screened. The main research questions are: 1. Is the GC-CCP network-based peer advocacy intervention superior to usual care (no intervention) in improving uptake of CC screening among alter participants, across urban/rural and public/private clinics? 2. What are the mediators and moderators (among index, alter and network characteristics) of intervention effects on (a) alter CC screening; and (b) engagement in CC prevention advocacy among index participants?
