Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this observational study is to engage with multilevel stakeholders to collaboratively and to systematically develop a suite of strategies for implementing breast cancer screening using clinical breast examination (CBE) in the primary health centers of Abuja, Nigeria. The main questions it aims to answer are: What barriers and facilitators exist to conducting screening CBE in Abuja's primary care setting and what implementation strategies would support CBE in primary care clinics? Participants will: * Allow observation of study clinic workflows * Participate in interviews and focus group discussions regarding screening CBE implementation
