Summary

This completed trial enrolled 797 Asian American women (Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese) aged 30-65 who were overdue for cervical cancer screening. All participants received community education and help scheduling a clinic screening. Half also got an HPV self-sampling kit to use at home. The study measured how many women completed screening, either at a clinic or by returning the self-sample. The goal is to find better ways to reach underserved communities and prevent cervical cancer.

What this could lead to
