App aims to educate women on HPV and breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07471113
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app-based education program could improve women's understanding of HPV and their attitudes toward breast cancer screening. Seventy women aged 30-65 used the app and completed surveys before and after the program. The goal was to see if the app could increase HPV literacy and encourage more positive beliefs about screening.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mobile application
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a simple mobile app can boost women's understanding of HPV and encourage them to get screened for breast cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to all women. It measures knowledge and beliefs, not actual cancer prevention or detection.
