About this trial

The REVIVE study aims to analyze the current status of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs and cervical cancer screening strategies in Spain. Its objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of these preventive measures, as well as to identify the main barriers to access and the existing inequalities in care. The study will also examine the impact of misinformation on population engagement and on the overall equity of the prevention system.

Despite significant advances in both vaccination and screening efforts, cervical cancer remains a major public health concern in Spain. In 2024 alone, 2,259 new cases were diagnosed, that incidence has remained relatively stable in recent years, even decades. Mortality rates have also shown little change, with over 600 deaths annually, totaling nearly 10,000 in the last 15 years.

To address this, the study plans to include approximately 200 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer in Spain between 2019 and 2024. It is a retrospective, observational, and non-interventional study. Data will be collected from existing medical records and supplemented with a specific questionnaire administered to the participating patients.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Prevalence of HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening among patients diagnosed with cervical cancer in Spain

Proportion of individuals diagnosed with cervical cancer who have previously received the HPV vaccine and/or undergone cervical cancer screening prior to their cervical cancer diagnosis. The objective is to assess the effectiveness of national prevention strategies, identify gaps in vaccine and screening coverage, and understand potential barriers to early detection and vaccination.

Time frame
2019-2024

Secondary outcomes

1

Percentage of HPV vaccination and screening coverage by region and demographic factors

This objective aims to determine the proportion of individuals who have received HPV vaccination and/or undergone cervical cancer screening, stratified by geographic region and key demographic factors such as age and ethnicity. The goal is to identify disparities in preventive healthcare access.

Time frame
2019-2024
2

Association between misinformation and socioeconomic factors and the rate of HPV vaccination and screening

This objective seeks to evaluate how misinformation and socioeconomic factors (income level, education, employment status, and healthcare access) influence the rates of HPV vaccination and participation in cervical cancer screening programs.

Time frame
2019-2024
3

Reported frequency and nature of barriers to accessing to HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening

This objective aims to identify and categorize the most commonly reported barriers that individuals face when trying to access to HPV vaccination and screening programs.

Time frame
2019-2014
