时间窗: 1 year
Depending on results of this initial evaluation, either additional data will be collected, or if successful, will use the data to begin identifying context-specific implementation strategies using the 'Implementation Mapping' framework1 . In a future protocol, these data will then be used to develop a strategy for an intervention that addresses urgent evidence-to-practice gaps in breast cancer diagnosis in Tanzania, and has the potential to help patients with breast cancer in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in the future. The collection of this key information will assist us and our collaborators to generate background data that can be used to develop and/or complement future clinical trials.
