Summary
This clinical trial develops and studies how well mobile health (m-Health) patient navigation (PN) strategies work to improve screening and the early detection of breast cancer in women accessing primary care clinics in Kenya. Although highly curable, breast cancer kills thousands of women in developing countries yearly. Mammography (MMG) is used for the early detection of breast cancer by creating a picture of the breast using film or a computer. Despite the availability of MMG in all 47 counties in Kenya, screening remains low in eligible women. Early detection of breast cancer may also be improved through access to high quality clinical breast exams (CBE). However, primary care providers in Kenya face barriers to incorporating CBE into practice, including limited patient awareness of breast cancer screening. m-Health uses applications on mobile phones to deliver PN directly to the patients. The PN strategies in this study include digital platforms and tools to help with education, reminders, navigation, and motivation around breast cancer screening. This may improve screening and the early detection of breast cancer in women accessing primary care clinics in Kenya.
