Expanding Access to Cervical Cancer Screening Through Primary HR-HPV Testing and Self-sampling: a Multicomponent Intervention for Safety Net Health Systems
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
To learn about the attitudes toward implementing self-collection among healthcare providers and staff, participants, and other stakeholders; and to inform the development of patient education and provider training materials to aid in the implementation of self-collection in clinical settings.
Description
The overarching goal of the implementation program is to increase cervical cancer screening, early detection, and linkage to treatment in underserved populations that receive care in safety net health systems. Specific goals are: 1. To increase up-to-date cervical cancer screening coverage by 10%; 2. To increase clinical encounters used for opportunistic cervical cancer screening using primary HR-HPV testing by 5% annually; 3. To increase awareness and readiness for implementing primary HR-HPV testing with self-sampling in routine care among clinics in the ECHO Network; 4. All patrticipants w…
