What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
COPAN 552c.80 FLOQSwabDevice
The study will implement HPV self-sampling as an option for cervical cancer screening alongside usual care for Somali women, and evaluate changes pre and post implementation, compared to Fairview non-intervention clinics.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | At the three intervention clinics, clinic providers or staff will offer women the option to perform HPV self-sampling as an alternative to cervical cancer screening by a clinician. Receives: Device: COPAN 552c.80 FLOQSwab |
| Control | No intervention | Control clinics will have passive participation and their only involvement will be that data will be pulled from these clinics. Women in the control clinics will be offered usual care cervical cancer screening by a clinician. The research team will not have any contact with women in the control clinics. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Difference-in-difference Comparison
Difference-in-difference Cox proportional hazards regression to compare screening completion changes 12-months pre- /post-implementation in intervention versus control clinics, adjusting for age, screening history, and CDC social vulnerability index (SVI).
Measured: Up to one-year (time-to-event) to initiate screening in each of the pre and post implementation periods.
Pre-implementation Period Cervical Cancer Screening Completion
For the pre-implementation period (prior to intervention clinics offering the option to perform HPV self-sampling), the operational definition of screening completion is receiving Pap and/or HPV testing by a clinician.
Measured: Up to one-year (time-to-event) to initiate screening in the pre-implementation period.
Post-implementation Period Cervical Cancer Screening Completion.
For the post-implementation period, the operational definition of screening completion accounts for hybrid options that allow for either HPV self-sampling, or Pap and/or HPV testing by a clinician. We define screening completion as:
- receiving Pap and/or HPV testing by a clinician;
- self-sampling HPV-negative or HPV16/18+; or
- self-sampling positive for other high-risk HPV types (i.e., "HPV+ other") or unsatisfactory and returning for a follow-up Pap test to complete the screening episode. For women with "HPV+ other" or unsatisfactory test results on self-sampling, a follow-up Pap test is required; if the Pap test is not completed within 3 months, the woman will not be considered screened.
Measured: Up to one-year (time-to-event) to initiate screening in the post implementation period.
