ERs may soon offer At-Home HPV tests to reach women who skip screenings

NCT ID NCT07657104

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will see if offering HPV self-sampling kits in emergency departments can help women who are overdue for cervical cancer screening. About 100 women in New Jersey will be given a kit and education during their ER visit. Those who test positive for HPV will be guided to follow-up care at a local clinic.

Active substance

HPV self-collection kit

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could make cervical cancer screening more accessible for women who rarely get tested, potentially catching precancerous changes earlier.

What could go wrong

This is a small feasibility study (100 participants) in one state, so results may not apply broadly. It tests the process, not whether screening actually reduces cancer rates.
