Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The long-term goal is to build a sustainable, community-based outreach program to promote cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV (WLH), thereby reducing related morbidity and mortality. The strategy for achieving this goal is to develop an intervention incorporating health literacy approaches and principles of community-based participatory research. Health literacy is a relatively new concept that has been applied mainly toward identifying high-risk individuals rather than toward changing health behaviors and outcomes. The proposed intervention is the first to integrate health literacy into educating WLH to promote cervical cancer screening. Community Health Workers (CHW) support has also rarely been incorporated into cancer screening interventions targeting WLH, making the proposed intervention a uniquely comprehensive approach. Building on recent successful testing by the investigators of a health literacy-focused intervention to promote cervical cancer screening in recent immigrant women, the investigators will test whether health literacy-focused interventions delivered by trained CHWs will be effective in promoting health literacy and increasing Pap test rates in a new population, WLH. The investigators hypothesize that, compared to WLH in the control group, WLH who receive the health literacy-focused CHW intervention will demonstrate: (1) higher rates of Pap test, (2) greater levels of health literacy, (3) higher levels of cervical cancer knowledge, and (4) higher self-efficacy.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

Intervention includes: Trained community health workers will deliver 1) 1.5-2 hour health literacy training offered in a group format at an approved community site that is most convenient to the majority of participants ; and 2) monthly phone follow-up and navigation assistance for 6 months. We will offer a Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) mobile app for participant's adolescent/young adult child (11-26 yrs), as an option rather than part of the standardized protocol. The app will be introduced at the end of the health literacy group training session for the intervention group; those who choose to download the app will be given a link with study specific password. They will be encouraged to go through the key HPV related contents with their children at home at a time that is most convenient for them.
