HPV Self-Sampling in the Emergency Department for Cervical Cancer Screening

This study is looking at how well HPV self-sampling works for cervical cancer screening in women who don't get screened regularly. If you are a woman between 30 and 65 years old, live in New Jersey, have a working cellphone, and are in the emergency department, you might be able to join. You also need to have not had a hysterectomy or cervical cancer, not be pregnant, and be overdue for a Pap test or HPV test. The study will give you education and an HPV self-sampling kit to use while you are in the emergency department. The main goal is to see if people complete the self-sampling. If your HPV test is positive, you will be helped to get follow-up care at a local clinic. The current recruitment status is unclear.
