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

Summary

This study tests whether mailing a self-sampling HPV test kit to Asian and underserved women can increase cervical cancer screening rates. Participants receive a kit to collect a sample at home and send it back for testing, along with phone support. The goal is to make screening easier for those who cannot or do not attend clinic appointments.
