About this trial
This study will assess the feasibility of implementing HPV self-sampling as a primary cervical cancer screening strategy for under-screened women in the emergency department (ED). Eligible participants will receive education and an HPV self-sampling kit to complete in the ED. Individuals with HPV-positive results will be guided to follow-up care at a local clinic.

no prior hysterectomy or cervical cancer,
not pregnant,
last Pap >3 years, last co-test >5 years, or last HPV alone test >5 years,

Treatments tested in this trial
HPV Self-collection in the ED
BehavioralParticipants will be asked to collect a vaginal sample for HPV screening.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Completion of ED-Based HPV Self-Sampling
Evaluate the proportion of eligible participants who complete HPV self-sampling during the emergency department visit.
Secondary outcomes
HPV Self Sampling Acceptability
Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) scale (Weiner et al., 2017). Scale values range from 1 to 5, where higher is more acceptable.
HPV Self Sampling Feasibility
Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) scale (Weiner et al., 2017). Scale values range from 1 to 5, where higher is more feasible.
HPV Knowledge
Cervical Cancer Knowledge Scale (CCKS)- 7 items where a higher score is more knowledge
Screening Completion
Proportion of HPV+ women who complete follow-up screening
