This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a patient navigation program—a service that guides and supports women through cervical cancer screening—can help more women in Senegal get screened and receive treatment faster. The program combines one-on-one support from trained navigators with community education and partnerships with healthcare providers to remove barriers that prevent women from seeking screening.
Cervical cancer causes unnecessary deaths in Senegal because many women face barriers to screening—including lack of knowledge, cost, transportation, stigma, and limited decision-making power in their families. This trial aims to test whether dedicated patient support can overcome these obstacles and save lives through early detection.

Participants will either receive the new patient navigation program immediately or after a waiting period (standard care first). If you receive navigation services, you'll work with a trained patient navigator who will help you access cervical cancer screening at your local health facility, answer your questions, and support you if follow-up care is needed. You'll also complete surveys about your experience, barriers you face, and any changes in your knowledge or confidence about screening. The study takes place in rural and urban areas of Senegal over several months.
