Summary

This study aims at creating video-based tutorials for developing skills in performing cervical cancer screening using VIA for the Auxillary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) and Primary Health Workers (PHWs). Cervical cancer screening is mainly done by the following three methods: Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), Cervical Smear Cytology (PAP) and HPV DNA test. VIA is a low cost, low resource cervical cancer screening method and especially useful for low middle income countries (LMICs) like India.

We propose to develop video-based tutorials, such that the ANMs/ASHAs/PHWs could be trained in performing and interpreting VIA with the use of this tutorial. The ANMs/ASHAs/PHWs have important roles in delivering health in rural/ semi urban areas and they will be trained using this tutorial.

The video-based tutorials will be made according to the 'Spoken Tutorials' methodology, developed at IIT Bombay. Video-based Tutorials has given skills based training to over 2 lakh students in the past four years on IT based topics. The tutorials are made available online free of cost. They are designed to be used without the need of an expert being physically present.
