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.

  1. Number of Participants That Completed HPV Self-sampling

    HPV self-sampling kit return

    Measured: Baseline

  2. 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)

  3. 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)

  4. 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)

  5. 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)
  1. 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)

  2. 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)

  3. 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)

  4. 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)
