Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is identify an effective and implementable set of implementation strategies to increase cervical cancer prevention in Malawi. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Which implementation strategies produce the greatest increase in provider recommendation for, and uptake of, cervical cancer prevention tools among people receiving HIV care. 2. What is the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and cost of these implementation strategies. 3. What is the sustained effect of these implementation strategies. The implementation strategies will be conducted with health workers (clinical officers, nurses, and medical assistants): training, coaching, and a reminder system.
