Summary

The Self-Testing options in the Era of Primary HPV screening for cervical cancer (STEP) trial will evaluate effectiveness of home-based HPV kits for improving cervical cancer screening uptake and its cost-effectiveness. The investigators will compare cervical cancer screening uptake within six months among women randomized to different outreach approaches based on prior screening behavior: A) Adherent and coming due: direct mail HPV kit vs. opt-in HPV kit vs. education; B) Overdue: direct mail HPV kit vs. education; C) Unknown: opt-in HPV kit vs. education.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Currently enrolled at Kaiser Permanente Washington
  • Female sex
  • 30 years to 64 years of age
  • An intact cervix
  • Has a primary care provider at Kaiser Permanente Washington

Exclusion Criteria

  • Anyone flagged by the delivery system as being on a non-routine screening schedule
  • Previously randomized to the intervention arm of the HOME trial or invited to the PATH study (Participants from the PATH study and individuals randomized to the intervention arm in the HOME Study are excluded from STEP because their prior inclusion in a STEP-related research study could influence their screening uptake and affect the outcome of this trial.)
  • On "do not contact list" for research studies
  • Currently pregnant or had a pregnancy-related procedure within prior 3 months
  • Language interpreter needed
