First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether offering women a simple self-collection kit for HPV testing at Express Care clinics (which have evening and weekend hours) increases cervical cancer screening rates. About 500 women aged 30–63 who are overdue for screening will either receive usual care or be invited to self-collect a vaginal swab at the clinic. The goal is to see if this convenient option helps more women get screened and follow up on abnormal results.

Active substance

HPV self-collection kit

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could make cervical cancer screening more convenient and accessible, potentially increasing early detection and prevention.

What could go wrong

This is a single-site study with 500 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is already FDA-approved, so the main question is about uptake, not efficacy.
