Summary
Road traffic injury (RTI) surveillance systems are a fundamental component of organized injury prevention and trauma care efforts. Which data source provides the best capture of RTI events in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts is unclear. We assessed the number of events captured and the information available in Yaoundé, Cameroon from three previouslydescribed LMIC injury data sources: hospital trauma registry, police records, and newspaper journals. Cervical cancer and breast cancer are the most common causes of female cancer in Peru. Screening tests such as: the papanicolaou smear test, clinical breast exams, and mammograms, can help to prevent cervical and breast cancer by detecting the cancer early and starting the individual on an effective treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge and use of these screening tests and identify possible barriers to accessing preventative care for women in the peri-urban area of Trujillo, Peru
