A Mail-Based HPV Self-Collection Program to Increase Cervical Cancer Screening in Appalachia: Results of a Group Randomized Trial.
Background: Despite the promise of mail-based human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collection programs for increasing cervical cancer screening, few have been evaluated in the United States. We report the results of a mail-based HPV self-collection program for underscreened women living in Appalachia.
Methods: We conducted a group randomized trial during 2021-2022 in the Appalachian regions of Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virgnia. Participants were women ages 30-64 who were underscreened for cervical cancer and from a participating health system. Participants in the intervention group (n=464) were mailed an HPV self-collection kit followed by telephone-based patient navigation (if needed), and participants in the usual care group (n=338) were mailed a reminder letter to get a clinic-based cervical cancer screening test. Generalized linear mixed models compared cervical cancer screening between study groups.
Results: Overall, 14.9% of participants in the intervention group and 5.0% of participants in the usual care group were screened for cervical cancer. The mail-based HPV self-collection intervention increased cervical cancer screening compared to the usual care group (OR=3.30, 95% CI: 1.90-5.72, p=0.005). One or more high-risk HPV types were detected in 10.5% of the returned HPV self-collection kits. Among participants in the intervention group who patient navigators attempted to contact, 44.2% were successfully reached.
Conclusions: HPV self-collection increased cervical cancer screening, and future efforts are needed to determine how to optimize such programs, including the delivery of patient navigation services.
Impact: Mail-based HPV self-collection programs are a viable strategy for increasing cervical cancer screening among underscreened women living in Appalachia.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention publishes original peer-reviewed, population-based research on cancer etiology, prevention, surveillance, and survivorship. The following topics are of special interest: descriptive, analytical, and molecular epidemiology; biomarkers including assay development, validation, and application; chemoprevention and other types of prevention research in the context of descriptive and observational studies; the role of behavioral factors in cancer etiology and prevention; survivorship studies; risk factors; implementation science and cancer care delivery; and the science of cancer health disparities. Besides welcoming manuscripts that address individual subjects in any of the relevant disciplines, CEBP editors encourage the submission of manuscripts with a transdisciplinary approach.
