Jennifer S. Smith, PhD, and other researchers in the Gillings School of Global Public Health and UNC’s School of Medicine, conducted an open-label, two-arm randomized controlled trial called “My Body, My Test-3” to see if under-screened, under-served women across North Carolina were more likely to undergo cervical cancer when mailed HPV self-collection kits and offered scheduling assistance.
Researchers found mailed HPV self-collection with scheduling assistance led to more cervical cancer screenings than scheduling assistance alone. The results from the “My Body, My Test-3” study were published in Lancet Public Health.
