Summary
This study looks at whether giving women a free self-sampling device (SSD) through their general practitioner can increase cervical cancer screening rates among those who haven't had a Pap smear in 6 years. About 3,375 women aged 31-64 in Flanders will be randomly assigned to receive the SSD either in person or by mail, compared to just getting a reminder letter. The goal is to find a better way to reach underscreened women and prevent cervical cancer.
