Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Invasive cervical cancer incidence and mortality can be dramatically reduced through early detection and treatment, but many women do not complete screening at recommended intervals. Many low-income women in Virginia remain uninsured and are at significant risk of being medically underserved and failing to complete regular cervical cancer screening. Self-collection of specimens for HPV testing is an innovative approach that may increase access to cervical cancer screening in populations that do not participate in traditional clinic-based screening. Innovative delivery models are needed to reach at-risk populations. This study seeks to explore the acceptability and feasibility of pairing self-collection of HPV samples for DNA testing with mobile mammography in women living in rural Virginia.

- description
- Assess the cultural acceptability of self-collection for HPV testing among under-screened women in Southwest Virginia specifically who were seeking a mammogram at an episodic clinic. The outcome measure of ACCEPTABILITY was measured through: participants who opted in, or uptake of HPV self collection (yes/no); and intention to follow up upon learning of result.
