What this trial studies

This study tests the PINPOINT intervention, which combines patient navigation, self-collection sampling, and support through community health workers to improve cervical cancer screening in under-screened women. It follows a structured Intervention Mapping process and collaborates with UF Health institutions to address barriers beyond just medical care, such as transportation and access to test results. Eligible participants are adults over 25 with obesity or type 2 diabetes who have not had screening in at least three years and reside in the UFHCI catchment area. The trial uses a practical, real-world setting with personalized outreach and mobile outreach resources to facilitate screening.
