Prospective Evaluation of Self-Testing to Increase Screening

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cervical Cancer, Human Papillomavirus Infection

In brief

Regularly attending for Pap test cervical cancer screening in a clinic is often unfeasible and/or unacceptable to many women. This study 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.
