HPV Self-sampling for Underscreened Latinas

The goal of this study is to learn if women of Hispanic/Latina ethnicity are willing to self-collect a cervico-vaginal sample for HPV testing. The main question the study will answer is: • Does a brief educational intervention increase the feasibility and acceptability of HPV self-sampling among Hispanic/Latina women? The study team will compare whether including a brief educational intervention with a mailed HPV self-sampling kit is more acceptable than receiving a mailed HPV self-sampling kit alone. Participants will be asked to complete surveys at study entry (baseline) and then randomized to receive only the HPV self-sampling kit, or the kit plus a small group education that meets with a bilingual health educator. Participants will then be contacted about one-month later to complete a follow-up survey. The study team will also measure the number of participants in each group who self-collect a sample and mail it in for HPV testing.

Inclusion Criteria: * Self-reported Hispanic/Latina ethnicity * Assigned female sex at birth * Age 30-65, consistent with guidelines for HPV DNA testing for cervical cancer screening * Speak and read English or Spanish * Computer or other device with internet connection * Overdue for cervical cancer screening (e.g., no cytology-based screening within the past 3 years; no hrHPV testing either alone or in combination with cytology in the past 5 years). Exclusion Criteria: * Prior diagnosis of cervical cancer or abnormality (e.g., dysplasia) * Had a hysterectomy/removal of the cervix * Compromised immune system (e.g., known HIV) * Women who self-report that they are pregnant or are within three months after a pregnancy
