Telehealth & HPV Self-Collection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to compare the efficacy and participant experience of telehealth-based, self-collected cervical cancer screening to mail-based, self-collected cervical cancer screening across the adult female screening lifespan. This will be done by evaluating sufficient Human papillomavirus (HPV) sample collection and determining preference for self-collection verses provider collection, comparing role of telehealth in pre- and post- menopausal women's comfort with self-collection, comparing self-collection completion rates for women with and without telehealth visits.

Detailed Description
This will be a prospective, randomized study of women ages 25 and older, stratified by menopausal status (defined as 12 months or greater without menses or time at which both ovaries have been surgically removed), who are eligible for cervical cancer screening.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Receive routine instructions Participants will receive routine instructions included in the myLAB Box Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified collection kit |
Other: Receive routine instructions
Study subjects randomized to this arm will receive a mailed myLab Box kit with instructions on HPV self-collection and postage to be shipped directly to the commercial lab. It should take less than 5 minutes to collect the sample.
|
Active Comparator: Telehealth Visit Participants will have a telehealth-based instructional visit and receive routine instructions included in the myLAB Box commercially available, CLIA certified collection kit |
Other: Telehealth-based instructional visit and receive routine instructions
Study subjects randomized to this arm will similarly receive a mailed myLab Box kit and also undergo a brief 5-10" telehealth instructional visit via video conference.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of participants preferring self-collection to provider collection [Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results]
In follow-up survey, participants will indicate how the would prefer to have their next cervical cancer screening performed: by their healthcare provider or by self-testing.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Median perceived difficulty understanding self-collection instructions [Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results]
In follow-up survey, participants will indicate how difficult the self-collection instructions were to understand, on a 10-point Likert scale.
- Median discomfort level with self-collection [Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results]
In follow-up survey, participants will indicate how much discomfort their experienced during self-collection, on a 10-point Likert scale.
