About

Regularly attending for Pap test cervical cancer screening in a clinic is often unfeasible and/or unacceptable to many women and persons with a cervix. This study is a supplement to increase representation of Asian and Asian American women in a pragmatic clinical trial that evaluates if mailing and testing self-sampled kits for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) can cost-effectively increase screening participation among underserved minority women in a safety-net health system.

Full description

Regularly attending for Pap test cervical cancer screening in a clinic is often unfeasible and/or unacceptable to many women and persons with a cervix. Using mailed self-sampling kits to test for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical cancer, may overcome multiple barriers to clinic-based screening. The parent study (NCT03898167) is a randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of three outreach interventions to increase primary screening participation and clinical follow-up among underscreened women a in a safety net health system. The three strategies that will be evaluated are: 1) telephone recall; 2) telephone recall with mailed self-sample HPV testing kits; and 3) telephone recall with mailed self-sample HPV testing kits and patient navigation. A supplemental accrual of Asian/Asian American persons (target n=240) was added to increase representation of this subpopulation in the parent trial.
