Prospective Evaluation of Self-Testing to Increase Screening (PRESTIS) Asian/Asian American Women Supplement

Not Applicable
Conditions
Human Papillomavirus Infection
Cervical Cancer
Registration Number
NCT06577220
Lead Sponsor
Baylor College of Medicine
Brief 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.

Detailed Description

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. Using mailed self-sampling kits to test for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical cancer, may overcome multiple barriers to clinic-based screening. The parent study (NCT03898167) is a randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of three outreach interventions to increase primary screening participation and clinical follow-up among underscreened women a in a safety net health system. The three strategies that will be evaluated are: 1) telephone recall; 2) telephone recall with mailed self-sample HPV testing kits; and 3) telephone recall with mailed self-sample HPV testing kits and patient navigation. A supplemental accrual of Asian/Asian American persons (target n=240) was added to increase representation of this subpopulation in the parent trial.
