Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?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.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for Asian and Asian American women who find it difficult or unacceptable to attend regular Pap test screenings in a clinic. It aims to increase cervical cancer screening participation among underserved minority women within a safety-net health system.

Inclusion Criteria

I have not had a hysterectomy or been diagnosed with cervical cancer.

Exclusion Criteria

I can communicate in English, Vietnamese, or Spanish.

Treatment Details

The PRESTIS trial is testing whether mailing self-sampling kits for HPV can effectively encourage more frequent screening for cervical cancer, compared to traditional methods like telephone recalls or patient navigation services.
