- The study aimed to find effective ways to increase cervical cancer screening rates in low-and middle-income countries by analyzing various interventions.
- A total of 38 reports from 24 studies involving over 318,000 participants showed that single interventions, such as self-sampling for HPV and reminder calls, significantly improved screening uptake compared to traditional methods.
- Although combined interventions, like health education and SMS reminders, may provide even greater benefits, the evidence for their effectiveness is uncertain due to varying levels of certainty in the data.
