Summary

This trial is testing an at-home kit for women aged 30-65 to collect samples for HPV testing. The goal is to see if this method is as accurate and acceptable as the traditional method done by doctors. By making it easier to get tested, the study hopes to increase the number of women who get screened for cervical cancer. Self-collection of cervico-vaginal samples for HPV testing has been studied as a way to make cervical cancer screening more accessible to underscreened women.
