Improving follow-up care for patients with abnormal cervical screenings
Evaluating the impact of Basic needs Assessment and Support to Improve Colposcopy Show rate: The BASICS Trial
['FUNDING_R03'] · WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY · NIH-10657708
This study is looking to help people with abnormal cervical screening results get the follow-up care they need by offering support for things like housing and food, making it easier for everyone, especially those who might struggle, to attend their colposcopy appointments.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance the follow-up care for individuals who receive abnormal cervical screening results, particularly focusing on colposcopy appointments. The study will implement a social needs navigator program that addresses various social determinants of health, such as housing, food insecurity, and safety, to improve adherence to necessary medical follow-ups. By providing tailored support and reminders, the research seeks to reduce the number of patients lost to follow-up, especially among underserved populations. The effectiveness of this intervention will be evaluated to determine its potential for broader implementation.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals who have received an abnormal cervical screening result and are at risk of not following up with necessary colposcopy care.
Not a fit: Patients who have already undergone colposcopy or those without abnormal cervical screening results may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly increase the rates of follow-up care for patients with abnormal cervical screenings, potentially reducing the incidence of cervical cancer.
How similar studies have performed: Preliminary data from similar interventions have shown promising results in improving follow-up care, indicating that this approach may be effective.
