Talking women into HPV tests: study tests motivational interviews
NCT ID NCT06662136
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether motivational interviews based on the Health Belief Model could increase HPV-DNA testing among women aged 30-45 who hadn't been tested in five years. Researchers gave 4 sessions of motivational interviewing and educational materials to one group, while a control group received no intervention. The goal was to see if these conversations improved knowledge about HPV and led to more women getting tested.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
motivational interview
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more women get tested for HPV, potentially reducing cervical cancer rates through early detection.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 90 participants, so results may not apply to all women. It tested a behavioral intervention, not a medical treatment, so it cannot directly prevent or cure cancer.
