Summary
This study tests whether personalized reminders help people get recommended follow-up care after cervical cancer screening. About 7,500 adults with a cervix, aged 21-70, will be randomly assigned to standard care, visit-based reminders, or reminders plus outreach. The goal is to see if these nudges improve follow-up within 120 days.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria, Individuals who: * have a cervix and are 21-70 years old * receive care at a participating primary care practice (i.e. PCP team visit within past 3 years) * have had a Pap and/ or HPV test within the past 3.5 years * has a CCSM result that suggest a 5-year risk of developing CIN3+ that warrants surveillance at 1 or 3 years, diagnostic colposcopy, or treatment (i.e., above average risk). Inclusion of those up to age 70 is intended to identify individuals whose prior history does not meet screening exit criteria, and warrants surveillance or diagnostic care even though women with adequate prior screening can stop at age 65 Exclusion Criteria Individuals who: * were diagnosed with cervical cancer/ CIN3+ prior to the most recent screening Pap or HPV test * have had their cervix removed * are not English or Spanish-speaking.
