About

The long-term goal is to develop, test, and disseminate a social needs navigator intervention that improves colposcopy adherence. Based on stakeholder feedback, this study addresses the need to include patient-centered educational material to the navigator program in order to improve patients' health literacy regarding cervical cancer prevention.

Full description

The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of the colposcopy educational material. The investigators aim to recruit 25 newly referred colposcopy patients before their appointment, ask them to take a 5-minute test about their knowledge of colposcopy, have them view an online demo of the educational resources, and then retake the test.
