Self-Collection for Cervical Cancer Screening and HPV Vaccination for Cancer Prevention Among Women in Emergency Care in Northeast Florida

Eligibility and Participation Characteristics of a Pilot Study of Self-Collection for Cervical Cancer Screening and HPV Vaccination for Cancer Prevention

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a cause of cervical cancer in women. This study is being done to identify sites for cervical cancer screening and education regarding HPV vaccination outside of the traditional settings of primary care and gynecologic clinics. Identifying non-traditional cancer screening settings may increase cancer screening completion and HPV vaccination among women with limited health care knowledge and access who are vulnerable to health disparities.
