Brief Summary

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

Cervical cancer is a disease that is preventable through vaccination against the virus that causes it, human papillomavirus (HPV), and through screening and treatment of cervical disease before it becomes cancet.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objectives:

The overall purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of CHW-delivered selfsample HPV testing (CHW-SS) to increase cervical cancer screening among women in RGV and other low- resource communities in Texas.

The specific aims of this protocol are to:

Specific Aim 1: Determine the feasibility of CHW-SS in the RGV and other low-resource communities in Texas (i.e., reach, screening uptake, notification of test results).

Specific Aim 2: Assess the acceptability and experiences of CHW-SS among under screened persons in rural, persistent poverty communities in the RGV and other low-resource communities in Texas.

Secondary Objectives:

Exploratory Aim 3: Assess attendance for clinical follow-up among individuals who participate in CHW-SS and test positive for HR-HPV.

Exploratory Aim 4: Evaluate contextual fit of the intervention.
