Evaluation of the Q-Pad hrHPV Test System for Identifying Precancer

The EQUIP Study is testing whether high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV), the virus that causes most cervical cancers, can be accurately detected from menstrual blood collected at home. People who have been referred for colposcopy after an abnormal Pap or hrHPV test will use the Q-Pad Kit during their period to collect menstrual samples on a special menstrual pad and mail them to a central laboratory for hrHPV testing. The same participants will have a standard cervical sample collected for routine hrHPV testing and will undergo colposcopy as part of their usual care. By comparing hrHPV results from menstrual samples with results from cervical samples and biopsy findings, the study will evaluate how well the Q-Pad hrHPV Test System detects cervical precancer and will also assess how easy and acceptable it is for participants to use this at-home collection method.

Improving Cervical Cancer Prevention Among Women Living With Chronic Conditions.

Our overarching goal is to adapt and test the PINPOINT intervention -PatIent Navigation for the Prevention of CervIcal CaNcer inTervention. We will test the PINPOINT intervention among patients with high-risk profiles for cervical cancer who do not meet the recommended screening for cervical cancer.

Emergency Department-based Cervical Cancer Screening Through Self-sampling

This project will compare the uptake of cervical cancer screening through ED HPV sampling among patients presenting to the ED.
