Self-Testing Options in the Era of Primary HPV Screening for Cervical Cancer: the STEP Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Usual Care, Education, and 2 other interventions for Uterine Cervical Neoplasm and 13 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 32,771 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Self-Testing options in the Era of Primary HPV screening for cervical cancer (STEP) trial will evaluate effectiveness of home-based HPV kits for improving cervical cancer screening uptake and its cost-effectiveness. The investigators will compare cervical cancer screening uptake within six months among women randomized to different outreach approaches based on prior screening behavior: A) Adherent and coming due: direct mail HPV kit vs. opt-in HPV kit vs. education; B) Overdue: direct mail HPV kit vs. education; C) Unknown: opt-in HPV kit vs. education.
