Cultural Acceptability and Feasibility of HPV Cervical Self Collection Aided by the Mobile
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating HPV self collection for Cervical Cancer. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Invasive cervical cancer incidence and mortality can be dramatically reduced through early detection and treatment, but many women do not complete screening at recommended intervals. Many low-income women in Virginia remain uninsured and are at significant risk of being medically underserved and failing to complete regular cervical cancer screening. Self-collection of specimens for HPV testing is an innovative approach that may increase access to cervical cancer screening in populations that do not participate in traditional clinic-based screening. Innovative delivery models are needed to reach at-risk populations. This study seeks to explore the acceptability and feasibility of pairing self-collection of HPV samples for DNA testing with mobile mammography in women living in rural Virginia.

Interventions
The proposed community based participatory study aims to determine whether offering self-collection for HPV testing through the mobile mammography unit is an acceptable and feasible method to increase access to cervical cancer screening for under-screened women in Southwest Virginia.
