Prospective Evaluation of Self-Testing to Increase Screening
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Mailed Self-Sample HPV Testing to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening Participation Among Minority/Underserved Women in an Integrated Safety Net Healthcare System
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Sept 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
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.
