Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are Hispanic women aged 21-65 who are not up-to-date with cervical cancer screening and have not had a hysterectomy or cervical cancer history.
✕Probably not a fit
Women who are already up-to-date with screening or those outside the age range may not benefit from this intervention.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The trial uses a two-arm cluster randomized design to enroll 160 Hispanic women aged 21-65 who are not up-to-date with cervical cancer screening. One arm receives an educational session delivered by a promotor(a) via eHealth tools, along with a resource list for screening sites; the control arm receives a nutrition-focused education session. The primary outcome is whether participants obtain cervical cancer screening after the intervention. Secondary aims include changes in knowledge and screening-related behaviors. The study is conducted at Florida A&M University with support from NIMHD.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the intervention could increase cervical cancer screening rates among Hispanic women who are not up-to-date.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar outreach approaches using promotora networks have shown promise in improving cancer screening uptake in minority populations, though settings vary by population and modality.
