What this trial studies
This randomized intervention compares an interactive, tailored video program (mNav) delivered with in-person patient navigation to a standard educational video among Black/African American women overdue for cervical cancer screening. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two video conditions and complete phone surveys at enrollment and six months to measure screening adherence, knowledge, barriers, and intentions. The intervention arm receives an on-screen guided interactive video plus in-person navigation support while the control arm views a standard educational video. Recruitment and enrollment are conducted through community clinic sites in Washington, D.C. and Arlington, VA with ISA Associates leading the project and NIMHD as a collaborator.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Black or African American women ages 21–65 who are overdue for Pap or HPV screening, are not pregnant, have not had a hysterectomy, and have a mobile phone that can receive texts and play videos.
Not a fit: Women who are already up to date with cervical screening, who are pregnant, who have had a hysterectomy, or who lack access to a text/video-capable mobile phone are unlikely to receive benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could increase screening uptake in an underserved group and help detect cervical disease earlier.
How similar studies have performed: Previous patient-navigation and tailored digital messaging programs have shown promising improvements in screening rates in underserved populations, though results have varied by setting and implementation.
