About this trial

This project looks to improve the return rate of HPV self-sampling (HPVss) as well as the management of women HPVss positive.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

aged 30-65

did not perform a pap smear in the last 4 years

are living in deprived clusters in the Occitanie region.

did not answer to a first "invitation" letter to perform a clinician-collected HPV testing

Disqualifiers

outside the target age group

had a Pap smear in the past 3 years

had hysterectomy including cervix

are pregnant

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Decision aid tailored to women with lower educational attainment,accessible via artificial intelligence-based Chatbot platforms

    Behavioral

    Non-compliant women those that have not been screened for more than 4 years and living in the disadvantaged areas will be sent screening reminder letters to perform HPV self-sampling (HPVss) test, with access to decision aid tailored to women with lower education attainment and available via Chatbot platforms. ChatBot will deliver information in a responsive, conversational way via text and spoken language in multiple languages through multiple mobile channels.

Treatment groups

3,000 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Intervention groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Control groupNo intervention 0 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

HPV self-sampling "return" rate

Percent of women recalled who "return" HPVss over 12 months "Return" means: 1) the receipt of the vaginal self-sample at the laboratory; 2) the performance of clinician-collected HPV testing for those who prefer to be screened by a health professional; and 3) Information about a recent screening or a cervical screening exclusion reason.

Time frame
1 year after postal mail
2

Proportion of HPVss-positive women "well managed"

Percent of recruited women well managed (Percent of women screened and completing full pathway of HPV screening and treatment over 12 months). "Well managed" is defined as: completed a valid screening test (sample processed successfully to positive or negative result, including recollection of invalid samples) AND * for HPV negative women, woman advised of negative result * for HPV positive women, completed assessment.

Time frame
1 year after postal mail
3

Cost and cost-efficacy

Costs will be estimated using an ingredients approach whereby resources used for the respective interventions are identified and valued. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) will be calculated as the mean difference in total costs between the intervention groups with the mean difference in effects, and expressed as both euros and US dollars per percentage change in screening participation.

Time frame
Month 36 - Month 48
