Facility-Based Indicators to Manage and Scale Up Cervical Cancer Prevention and Care Services for Women Living With HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa: a Three-Round Online Delphi Consensus Method

“…10,11 Cascades are widely used conceptual models that support monitoring, assess engagement, and identify gaps in services. 9,12,13 Several studies have taken this approach to evaluating the performance of CC control programs for WLHIV in SSA, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] but they did not use standardized indicators, so it is difficult to compare their findings. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Indicators that consider HIV status are often omitted from cancer control policies, even in countries with high HIV burden, 21 where they are most necessary.…”
