Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

CHWs facilitated Self-Sampling

CHW and Self-sampling for Cervical Cancer. Home visit, self-sampler, collection of test

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

CHW and Self-sampling for Cervical Cancer

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Behavioral: CHW and Self-sampling for Cervical Cancer The intervention strategies will involve one home visit: 1) provide brief health education on cervical cancer screening, 2) provide and collect self-sampler test. We envision visits lasting no more than 60 minutes.

Mailed Self-Sampler

Mailed Self Sampler. Self sampler is mailed to participant; follow up by phone

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Mailed Self Sampler

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Mailed Self Sampler. Women randomized to this intervention arm will receive a self-sampling kit via mail. This kit will include: 1) the self-sampler; 2) the vial for collecting and storing the specimen; 3) a pre-addressed, stamped envelope for returning the vial; 4) a brief introductory letter/postcard which includes a picture of the CHE and the CHW and serves to re-orient the participant to the focus of the study; 5) instructional guide that visually depicts the steps for self-sampling;
