About this study

Official title: Evaluation of A Family-based Intervention to Improve Pap Test Screening Among Under-screened Chinese American Immigrant Women

The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of the involvement of an influential person(s) (e.g., spouse, partners, parents, children, friends) on Pap test screening intention and behaviors, Pap test self-efficacy, and perceived benefits and barriers to Pap test screening among Chinese American immigrant women. These data specific to the impact of the involvement of an influential person on Pap test screening could be used to develop successful cancer prevention programs that target the specific needs of Chinese populations.

Read the detailed description

The importance of the support from family, spouse, friends, or significant others has been noted among Chinese American immigrant women (CAIW), but little attention has been paid to the effects of family-based (FB) interventions, especially for cervical cancer screening. Understanding the role of CAIW's family in promoting Pap screening and other influences can lead to the creation of more culturally appropriate screening interventions. The objective of this study is to test the effects of a FB intervention on Pap test intention and behaviors, Pap test self-efficacy, and perceived benefits and barriers to Pap tests among under-screened CAIW aged 21-65. This pilot test of the FB intervention will be conducted using a randomized controlled design with two groups only, experimental and control groups. Interventions will be delivered by bilingual and bicultural CAIW trained facilitators. Post-test and follow-up telephone surveys will be conducted at 2 weeks and 6 months after the intervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • family-based interventionBehavioural

    The participants will identify their accompanying influential person(s) (e.g., spouse, partners, parents, children, friends) with whom they will be attending the 1.5-2 hour face-to-face education session on cervical cancer and screening. At the end of the intervention, time will be allowed for questions, as well as distributing fridge magnets and a pamphlet. Fridge magnets contain Pap test guidelines and availability of local clinics. The pamphlet covers the following topics: (a) information about female anatomy and cervical cancer, (b) risk factors for cervical cancer, (c) facts of cervical cancer incidence and mortality, and screening rates among American women, (d) methods to reduce cervical cancer (e.g., HPV vaccination), (e) Pap test procedure, (f) Pap test guidelines, and (g) availability of clinics and cost of Pap test. The participants will be encouraged to spread the message to family members and friends.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing family-based intervention and Participant only intervention in people with Cervical Cancer and Healthy Women, run by University of Nevada, Reno.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Receiving a Pap Test (time frame: 2 weeks after intervention). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Nov 2020.
