About this study

Official title: Self-Sampling for HPV Testing in African American Women - Mississippi Delta

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and costs of this patient-centered approach ("Choice" between two cervical cancer screening modalities) in adherence to cervical cancer screening as compared to the current standard of care within the public health system in Mississippi (Pap test at the local department -"Pap") among un/under-screened African American women in the Mississippi Delta using a theory-based, culturally relevant intervention implemented by Peer Health Educators (PHEs).

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to examine the efficacy and costs of a patient-centered approach ("Choice" between self-sampling and Pap test) in adherence to cervical cancer screening as compared to Pap test at the local health department ("Pap") among un/under-screened African American women in the Mississippi Delta.

HYPOTHESES: Women in the "Choice" arm will have a higher cervical cancer screening adherence as well as higher satisfaction than women assigned to the "Pap" arm; (2) Within the "Choice" arm, more women will choose and complete self-sampling than Pap test; and (3) The "Choice" intervention will be on average less costly and more cost-effective than the "Pap" intervention.

SPECIFIC AIMS: (1) To compare the impact of these two intervention approaches, "Choice" versus "Pap", on cervical cancer screening adherence through a group randomized controlled trial; (2) To compare patient satisfaction between the two intervention approaches; and (3) To compare the costs and cost-effectiveness of these two intervention approaches, "Choice" versus "Pap".

STUDY DESIGN: 12 towns will be randomized to either "Choice" or "Pap" (180 women/arm). Peer Health Educators (PHEs) will identify African American women who report not having undergone cervical cancer screening in the past three years and deliver a brief theory-based, cultural relevant educational session on cervical cancer and screening using a door-to-door approach. Women randomized to the "Pap" arm will be provided with information on how to schedule an appointment at the local health department. Women randomized to the "Choice" arm will be given the choice of attending the health department for a Pap test or self-collecting their own sample at home to be sent for HPV testing. PHEs will follow-up with women in either arm who have a positive test in order to assure diagnostic evaluation and care.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pap testingBehavioural

    Women will be approached in the community by a Peer Health Educator and scheduled an appointment for a Pap testing at the local health department

  • ChoiceBehavioural

    Women will be approached in the community by a Peer Health Educator and they will be given a choice between scheduling an appointment for a Pap testing at the local health department or engage in self-sampling for HPV testing at home

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. adherence to cervical cancer screening

    adherence to cerivcal cancer screening by attending the Pap testing or returning the self-collected sample for HPV testing

    Measured: baseline to 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Satisfaction with the intervention

    We will assess participants' satisfaction with intervention through self-report (satisfaction questionnaire - satisfied/very satisfied)

    Measured: baseline to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pap testing and Choice in people with Cervical Cancer, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

adherence to cervical cancer screening (time frame: baseline to 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03713710, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Nov 2022.
