| description | # Background
Poor cervical cancer screening coverage and utilization by women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are linked to health system factors such as lack of access and availability of quality health care, inadequate workforce capacity, and socio-cultural and behavioral barriers. To improve women’s participation in cervical screening, strategies such as involvement of community resources have been recommended. The aim of this review is to understand the current roles of community-based resources (CBRs) such as community health workers (CHWs) and community-based civil society organizations (CBOs) including key stakeholders – for example health champions, traditional leaders, chief’s wives, etc. in the community in cervical screening in LMICs settings.
# Methods and analysis
We will conduct a scoping review of MEDLINE, CINAHL and Global Health databases from January 2016 to June 2020 for published peer-reviewed literature from LMICs including reference list tracking and handsearching of studies with community focus published in English describing interventions provided by CBRs in cervical screening uptake.
# Ethics and dissemination
Ethical approval is not required. Findings from this review will be summarised for conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals for widespread dissemination. Study will identify possible gaps in the evidence and differences in the role of CBRs between sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and other LMIC regions and inform recommendations and implementation of future cervical screening research, policy, and practice. |
