Conducted in India, this study is evaluating the effectiveness of a well-planned health education breast and cervical cancer program in regions where there are limited resources. By using trained primary health workers to conduct low-cost screening methods, such as a clinical breast examination or visual inspection of the cervix painted with 4% acetic acid, the study hopes to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and mortality. It is utilizing a cluster randomized study and expects to influence India’s future cancer control program policy, as well as the policies of other resource-poor countries.
