| Summary: | Early detection strategies and population-based screening are important public health tools in early detection of disease and population surveillance. This work aimed to examine cervical cancer and COVID-19 with a focus on new strategies for early detection and population-based screening data; these approaches can help detect pre-cancerous lesions before they develop into cervical cancer and can help to better understand the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the general population. While cervical cancer screening is a long-standing program, requiring review of existing programs and new methodologies, the emergence of the COVID-19 requires an initial evaluation of new test methodologies. Cervical cancer data was collected through testing enrolled patient specimens and programmatic data, and COVID-19 data was collected from testing deidentified patient specimens. This dissertation is comprised of three studies (4 manuscripts). The first study reviewed the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) cervical screening ... |
