Cervical cancer ranks among the highest cancer rates globally, disproportionately affecting women in low-income or underserved communities. Early detection and response are key indicators for eradicating Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and reducing cervical cancer rates. In the Eastern Caribbean, Grenada carries a high cervical disease burden and associated mortality rate. Grenada’s health system has long relied on health fairs and direct outreach to disseminate information about health and preventive care. In-person outreach was severely interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was necessary to leverage digital communications to continue engagement with populations that were physically isolated. A successful online cervical cancer education effort required authentic content designed specifically for Grenada’s population.
