Trial Outcomes & Findings for Using CHWs or Mailing Self Sampling Home Tests to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening in South Florida (NCT NCT02202109)

NCT ID: NCT02202109

Last Updated: 2018-12-19

Results Overview

The primary outcome is having had a self-sampling done since the initial evaluation. Participants who test negative will be encouraged to rescreen while Participants who test positive for HPV will be navigated to appropriate follow-up care. The CHWs will follow up with participants who do not return the kit within 60 days.

CHWs Facilited Self-Sampling
CHW and Self-sampling for Cervical Cancer. Home visit, self-sampler, collection of test CHW and Self-sampling for Cervical Cancer: 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 Mailed Self Sampler: 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;

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 to 6 months

Population: Participants were given up to 6 months to complete HPV self-sampling.

The primary outcome is having had a self-sampling done since the initial evaluation. Participants who test negative will be encouraged to rescreen while Participants who test positive for HPV will be navigated to appropriate follow-up care. The CHWs will follow up with participants who do not return the kit within 60 days.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months

Cervical cancer knowledge was measured with a series of questions asked at both pre(baseline) and post (exit). The questions were designed to measure participant's knowledge of cervical cancer prior to the study intervention and following the intervention. Cervical cancer knowledge is defined by participants answering 3 out 5 questions correctly.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months

Population: Only participants with complete information on access to care were included in the analysis.

Access to care was defined as having a routine source of care and measured at both pre(baseline) and post (exit).
