Key Points Question What were the knowledge and practice outcomes associated with participating in an e-learning program to address cervical cancer prevention for health care practitioners in Cameroon? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 75 health care practitioners, 53.8% of prior ECHO attendees and 4.5% of newcomers had a satisfactory knowledge score, a significant difference. Approximately two-thirds of participants reported having adopted best practice care or applied knowledge learned through the program to patient care in their practice. Meaning These findings suggest that this educational program was associated with improved knowledge and evidence-based practices and higher quality patient care in underresourced areas.
