![Study flowchart showing screening techniques and primary screening outcome.A total of 13,861 women were screened. Of these, 12,847 underwent visual inspection (VIA or enhanced visual assessment [EVA]/mobile colposcopy) with leukoplakia assessment, while 1,014 were screened using non-visual methods (HPV DNA testing and/or cytology) without leukoplakia assessment. Overall leukoplakia prevalence was 0.9% (n = 120/13,861; 95% CI: 0.7–1.1). Prevalence was 0.2% (n = 23) among VIA-screened women and 3.7% (n = 97) among EVA-screened women.](https://healthsignalafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/hs-pmc13557359-figure-1024x576.jpg)
