Evidence-Based Approach to Empower Asian American Women in Cervical Cancer Screening
This is a randomized trial to evaluate the effects of a community-based intervention on increasing cervical cancer screening rates in underserved Asian American (Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese) women. All women will receive an educational program and navigation assistance. Women in the intervention condition will also receive a self-sampling kit for self-collection of a cervical sample for HPV testing. The investigators will evaluate whether the inclusion of a self-sampling kit increases the proportion of Asian American women who participate in cervical cancer screening.
• Women who are of Asian race and self-identify as Korean, Vietnamese, or Chinese
• are 30-65 years of age
• are overdue for cervical cancer screening (e.g., no cytology-based screening within the past 3 years; no hrHPV testing either alone or in combination with cytology in the past 5 years)
