Who is the study for?
This trial is for Hispanic/Latina women who are underscreened for cervical cancer. It aims to see if they're willing to self-collect samples for HPV testing and whether a brief educational session can make this more acceptable.
What is being tested?
The study tests the acceptability of an HPV self-sampling kit among Latinas, comparing two approaches: receiving the kit alone versus receiving it with group education by a bilingual health educator.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive self-sampling for HPV and an educational component, there are no direct medical side effects associated with typical drug interventions.
