Patient-centered Educational Material to Improve Colposcopy Adherence

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Cervical Cancer Screening
• Interventions: Other: Colposcopy educational material

• Registration Number: NCT05762757
• Lead Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine

Brief Summary

The long-term goal is to develop, test, and disseminate a social needs navigator intervention that improves colposcopy adherence. Based on stakeholder feedback, this study addresses the need to include patient-centered educational material to the navigator program in order to improve patients' health literacy regarding cervical cancer prevention.

Detailed Description

The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of the colposcopy educational material. The investigators aim to recruit 25 newly referred colposcopy patients before their appointment, ask them to take a 5-minute test about their knowledge of colposcopy, have them view an online demo of the educational resources, and then retake the test.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Colposcopy educational material	Colposcopy educational material	Participants will complete a 9-question quiz that will assess knowledge of colposcopy. They will then view the colposcopy educational material and answer the same 9-question quiz to assess their knowledge of colposcopy. Participants will complete the Acceptability Intervention Measure, the Intervention Appropriateness Measure, and the Feasibility of Intervention Measure. Participants will also be asked whether the educational material influences their intention to adhere to colposcopy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in participant knowledge of colposcopy	Prior to viewing educational material and after viewing educational material (Day 1)	-9 question questionnaire that will assess patient knowledge of colposcopy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility of educational material as measured by the Feasibility of Intervention Measure	Day 1
Number of participants who stated that the educational material will influence their intention to adhere to colposcopy	Day 1	This is a 4-item measure of perceived intervention feasibility. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely disagree-completely agree). Mean score is calculated.
Acceptability of educational material as measured by the Acceptability of Intervention Measure	Day 1	This is a 4-item measure of perceived intervention acceptability. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely disagree-completely agree). Mean score is calculated.
Appropriateness of educational material as measured by the Intervention Appropriateness Measure	Day 1	This is a 4-item measure of perceived intervention appropriateness. Items are measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Completely disagree-completely agree). Mean score is calculated.
