Summary
This study tested whether mailing HPV self-test kits to women in Appalachia who are behind on screening could increase cervical cancer detection. Over 800 women who hadn't had a Pap test in 3+ years or an HPV test in 5+ years took part. The goal was to see if self-testing at home makes it easier for women to get screened and catch problems early.
