  • HPV Self-Collection In Novel Settings To Increase Cervical Cancer Screening Rochester, Minn. This clinical trial evaluates whether offering human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collection for cervical cancer screening at Mayo Clinic Express Care clinics improves uptake of cervical cancer screening and receipt of appropriate follow-up care. Cervical cancer is preventable through vaccination, screening, and treatment of pre-cancerous conditions. Despite this, the rates of outdated cervical cancer screening tests are high. Usual care at Mayo Clinic currently includes annual portal or letter communications in the form of scheduled outreach to request scheduling an appointment for cervical cancer screening, as well as reminders from clinicians during clinic appointments. Cervical cancer screening at Mayo Clinic is most often done with a pelvic speculum exam with cervical swabs collected in the office by a clinician. HPV self-collection is Food and Drug Administration-approved and already used in clinical practice, but offering this method of screening in the novel setting of Express Care clinics that have expanded nighttime and weekend hours may improve rates of cervical cancer screening and receipt of appropriate follow-up care.
  • Improving Cervical Cancer Screening among Populations with Health Disparities Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to conduct a survey of Somali and Hispanic women to ascertain personal, cultural, and structural barriers to CCS and assess the acceptability, and appropriateness of community engaged and community-based strategies to increase screening.

Closed for Enrollment

  • Awareness and Acceptability of Primary HPV Testing and Patient Self-collection for Cervical Cancer Screening Among Patients and Primary Care Clinicians Rochester, Minn.

    The purposes of this study are to assess awareness and acceptability of HPV testing for cervical cancer screening and patient self-collection of vaginal swabs among women aged 30 to 65 years old, to assess awareness and acceptability of HPV testing for cervical cancer screening and patient self-collection of vaginal swabs among primary care clinicians, and to identify insights from regional and national thought leaders in the fields of primary care and cervical cancer screening on strategies to improve uptake of primary HPV screening and opinions on patient self-collection by conducting key informant interviews. 
  • Validation and feasibility of patient self-sampling of HPV for cervical cancer screening Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to validate a patient self-sampling vaginal collection kit and laboratory testing for the detection of HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. Its secondary aim is to assess the patient perspective on acceptability and feasibility of a self-sampling approach to cervical cancer screening through a survey of study enrollees. The third aim will assess the stability testing component to analyze concordance of multiple self-collected Evalyn brush HPV results within the same study subject.
