About this study
Official title: Promoting Cervical Cancer Screening Among African American and Sub Saharan African Immigrants
The goal of this study is to develop and pilot test an intervention, entitled Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program, designed to promote screening and reduce perceived barriers to Cervical Cancer (CC) screening.
Aim 1: Examine general awareness and cultural factors (fatalism, religiosity/spirituality, temporal orientation, medical mistrust, and acculturation) related to cancer control and prevention among African Americans (AA) and Sub Saharan African (SAI) Immigrants.
Read more
Aim 2: Examine the socioecological barriers and facilitators to CC screening and self-sampling to inform tailoring of an evidenced based cervical health program to promote CC screening.
Aim 3: Assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy in a pilot test of the Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program among 30 AA and 30 SAI women using quasi-experimental design.
This study will take place in 2 phases.
Read the detailed description
In phase 1, the investigators will conduct a cross-sectional survey with 150 Black men and women to examine factors impacting cervical cancer screening. Also, as part of phase 1, Aim 2 employs focus groups and a quantitative Health Belief Model checklist with 30 participants to guide development of a tailored intervention. In phase 2, Aim 3 will assess feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program intervention among 30 African American and 30 Sub-Saharan African immigrant women.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health ProgramBehavioural
Health is Wealth: A Cervical Health Program will be introduced in a one-time 2-hour educational session, participants will be given HPV self-sampling kits, and instructional sheet that visually depicts the steps for self-sampling. The program will be culturally tailored to increase self-efficacy and knowledge while simultaneously addressing perceived health beliefs associated with cervical cancer and barriers associated with cervical cancer screening and HPV self-sampling. Content will be delivered in a group format (about 10-15 participants) by lecture, demonstration, and interactive exercises.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants That Completed HPV Self-sampling
HPV self-sampling kit return
Measured: Baseline
Change in Cervical Cancer Knowledge
Cervical cancer awareness will be assessed with Likert style scale response choices: strongly disagree (scores 1 point), disagree (scores 2 points), neutral (scores 3 points), agree (scores 4 points) and strongly agree (scores 5 points). Awareness of warning signs and risk factors will be assessed with an 11 question prompted checklist. This instrument has been found to be valid and reliable in multiple populations. Scores range from 11-55. A higher score indicates greater cervical cancer knowledge.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)
Change in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Knowledge
Participants will complete 16 items assessing knowledge of HPV, 6 items about HPV testing, and 7 items about the vaccination. Response options included "True," "False," and "Don't know," with scoring allocating one point for each correct response, and zero points for incorrect or "Don't know" responses, summed across items, for a potential range of 0-29. This instrument has been found to be valid and reliable in multiple populations. A higher score indicates greater knowledge on HPV.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)
Change in Self-Efficacy in Completing Pap Test
Self-efficacy will be assessed with 10 items measured on a five-point Likert style scale response choices: strongly disagree (scores 1 point), disagree (scores 2 points), neutral (scores 3 point)s, agree (scores 4 points) and strongly agree (scores 5 points). Score ranges from 10-50. A higher score indicates a greater perceived ability to complete steps for a pap test. This is a well validated and reliable instrument.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)
Change in Perceived Barriers to Screening
Barriers to screening will be assessed with 14 items measured on a five-point Likert style scale response choices: strongly disagree (scores 1 point), disagree (scores 2 points), neutral (scores 3 points), agree (scores 4 points) and strongly agree (scores 5 points). Scores range from 14-70. A higher score indicates a greater perceived barrier to screening.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)
Secondary outcomes (4)
Change in Perceived Benefits of Pap Test
Perceived benefits of getting a pap test will be assessed with 4 items measured on a five-point Likert style scale response choices: strongly disagree (scores 1 point), disagree (scores 2 points), neutral (scores 3 points), agree (scores 4 points) and strongly agree (scores 5 points). Scores range from 4-20. A higher scores indicates greater perceived benefits of getting a pap test.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)
Change in Perceived Susceptibility to Cervical Cancer
Perceived susceptibility will be assessed with 4 items measured on a five-point Likert style scale response choices: strongly disagree (scores 1 point), disagree (scores 2 points), neutral (scores 3 points), agree (scores 4 points) and strongly agree (scores 5 points). Score ranges from 4-20. A higher scores indicates greater perceived susceptibility to cervical cancer.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)
Change in Perceived Seriousness to Cervical Cancer
Perceived seriousness will be assessed with 7 items measured on a five-point Likert Style scale response choices: strongly disagree (scores 1 point), disagree (scores 2 points), neutral (scores 3 points), agree (scores 4 points) and strongly agree (scores 5 points). Scores range from 7-35. A higher score indicates a greater perceived seriousness of cervical cancer.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)
Change in Perceived Cervical Cancer Risk Factors
Perceived cervical cancer risk will be assessed with 11 items measured on a five-point Likert style scale response choices: strongly disagree (scores 1 point), disagree (scores 2 points), neutral (scores 3 points), agree (scores 4 points) and strongly agree (scores 5 points). Scores range from 11-55. A higher scores indicates a greater knowledge of cervical cancer risk factors.
Measured: 6 months (Baseline, immediately post-test (up to 1 week), 6 month follow up)

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Jul 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Number of Participants That Completed HPV Self-sampling (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04927494, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 31 Jul 2026.
