During this quarter, the team finalized and submitted the scoping review on the Perceived feasibility of integrated breast and cervical cancer screening in East Africa.

The manuscript, which synthesizes current evidence and highlights opportunities for strengthening integrated screening models, is now under peer review. Once published, it is expected to inform both program design and policy discussions on expanding access to comprehensive cancer prevention services in the region.

In addition, qualitative research activities are progressing with ongoing transcriptions of CATSystem provider and patient interviews.

These narratives will offer deeper insights into user experiences, barriers, and opportunities for improvement in cancer screening and follow-up.

Once transcription is complete, the next stage of coding and thematic analysis will commence, allowing the team to generate evidence that will guide system enhancements and inform broader discussions on patient-centered digital health solutions.
