Increasing Cervical Cancer Screening Uptake Among Emergency Department Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cervical Cancer

In brief

Invasive cervical cancer is preventable with adequate screening but screening rates are considerably below national goals. Emergency departments care for a disproportionate number of women who are not up to date with recommended cervical cancer screening. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile technology based behavioral intervention (using text messaging prompts) to increase cervical cancer screening uptake among emergency department patients.
