Preventing Cervical Cancer in Low-Resource Settings: From Research to Practice
This report summarizes a regional conference on cervical cancer prevention hosted by Jhpiego in collaboration with Chulalongkorn University and with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Held from 4 to 7 December 2005 in Bangkok, Thailand, the conference reviewed the evidence for approaches to preventing cervical cancer and explored strategies for scaling up interventions in the field. The overall goal of the conference was to move evidence-based interventions for preventing cervical cancer into common practice.
The report contains summaries of presentations and small group discussions, key commitments and country action plans from country representatives at the conference, and a section on how donors and programs can support cervical cancer prevention efforts. (2006) Available in English.

Cervical Cancer Prevention Guidelines for Low-Resource Settings
This reference manual is designed for trainers and health care providers who are embarking on a cervical cancer prevention program that will focus on visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and/or cryotherapy as the core programmatic elements. The material is arranged both according to established principles of medical education (epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical intervention) and according to the order in which knowledge and skills are gradually acquired during training. Although this manual could be used alone in training in provision of VIA and cryotherapy services, it is an integral part of a comprehensive learning package that includes a handbook for participants, a notebook for trainers, an interactive CD-ROM of cervical images, a companion handbook on performance support and anatomic models. (2005) Available in English.
Cervical Cancer Prevention Course Handbook: Guide for Participants
This handbook for participants describes a competency-based training course and includes the course objectives, model course schedule, learning guides and practice checklists, and instructions for using the ZOE® anatomic model, all linked to the reference manual. (2005) Available in English.
Cervical Cancer Prevention Notebook for Trainers
This notebook for trainers contains the precourse and midcourse questionnaires and answer keys, detailed course outline and competency-based qualifications checklists, in addition to all participant material. Handbooks and notebooks are usually provided in a ratio of one trainer's notebook for every five participant's handbooks. (2005) Available in English.
Performance Support/Quality Assurance Handbook for Using VIA and Cryotherapy in Cervical Cancer Prevention Services
The purpose of this handbook, developed for use in conjunction with the training manual Cervical Cancer Prevention Guidelines for Low-Resource Settings, is to provide guidance to anyone who is responsible for performance support and/or quality assurance for cervical prevention services based on visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA) and cryotherapy. (2005) Available in English.
