Cervical cancer is the leading cancer among women in Uganda [4]. Up to 72% of women are diagnosed with late-stage disease [5], and 80% die within 5 years of diagnosis [6]. The age-standardized cervical cancer incidence rate in Uganda is more than 4 times the global average, and the age-standardized mortality rate is nearly 6 times higher [4].

Fixed SMS data are stored in a secure cloud, which is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. i Streams-Uganda works in partnership with Africa’s Talking, a platform that facilitates access to a telco infrastructure that uses automated SMS, voice, airtime, and other application programming interfaces—mechanisms tested and successfully used during our pilot study. This automated technology for SMS [23,25] and calls [36,63] has also been used for other studies in Uganda.

Additionally, Uganda has one of the highest per-capita alcohol consumption rates, with alcohol and substance use disorders being widespread, particularly among men, while also affecting children and youth [20].
