Notes: Estimated per-screening costs at each of the 6 control clinics based on a reduction in number of personnel involved with screening and notification. Each clinic is designated 1 CHV dedicated to both screening and notification. One program assistant dedicates 100% of their time to monitoring screening and notification at 2 clinics. The program coordinator will commit 5% time to each clinic, and lab technicians dedicate time to each clinic based on the number of women screened (same as before, average 10% time). Each clinic will therefore only have 4 team members: CHV, HE, program coordinator, and lab technician. The personnel ratio per clinic will reduce from 2 to 1.65. No other changes were made to estimated costs
