Summary

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.

Who is the study for?
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.
What is being tested?
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.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive procedures such as receiving phone calls, navigating healthcare services, and using mailed self-sampling kits, there are no direct medical side effects associated with this study.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Mailed HPV Self-Sampling Kit + Patient NavigationExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants receive a scripted telephone recall and mailed self-sampling kit with a pre-paid return envelope. Within 3-5 days of the kit's mail-out, participants will receive a telephone call from a patient navigator to provide one-on-one education.
Group II: Mailed HPV Self-Sampling KitExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants receive a scripted telephone recall from a patient navigator on behalf of Harris Health System and receive a mailed HPV self-sampling kit with a prepaid return envelope
Group III: Telephone RecallActive Control1 Intervention
Participants receive a scripted telephone recall from a trained patient navigator on behalf of Harris Health System
