Amelia Hyatt, Senior Research Officer of Health Services Research and Implementation Science at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper she co-authored with colleagues published in the Lancet Global Health:
“I’m super excited to share my first PhD paper, published in Lancet Global Health!
We conducted an upstream ecological assessment of key social, economic, environmental, cultural, and health system determinants associated with the successful implementation of cervical cancer elimination programs using publicly available data for 155 countries.
Our findings indicate that for programs to be successful:
- Cervical cancer elimination must be placed within wider health system strengthening and social, public, and economic policy.
- For global health initiatives to thrive, efforts to remove preventable and unfair antecedents of poor health must be concurrently addressed.
- Investing in cervical cancer elimination can form the foundations for wider social and health system benefit.
With special thanks to my incredible supervisors, Sanchia Aranda, Karen Canfell, and Rob Moodie.”
