Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the model of delivering CHW-driven home-based comprehensive NCD control services aimed to prevent premature deaths from cardio-vascular diseases, stroke and breast, cervix and oral cancers in the hard-to-reach women.

Detailed description

Specific objectives of this study are the evaluation of: 1. The social, cultural and behavioral factors that impact the uptake of the NCD control services among rural women using the Rapid Assessment, Response and Evaluation (RARE) approach; 2. The feasibility and acceptability of the strategy to deliver the following NCD control services to the rural women at their homes by the trained CHWs: * Counselling of the tobacco habitués to give up the practice * Early detection of hypertension and diabetes to ensure prompt and regular treatment * Creating breast awareness and ensuring access to prompt diagnosis and treatment of the women with symptoms suggestive of breast cancer * Screening for cervical cancer by self-collected HPV test and ensuring prompt treatment of screen detected precancers and cancers * Screening of the habitual tobacco/alcohol users for oral cancer by OVE and ensuring prompt treatment of screen detected precancers and cancers
