Filter by:The goal of this method comparison study is to compare the detection of hrHPV collected using the Teal Wand Self-Collection device to hrHPV detected from HCP (health care provider) cervical collection using primary HPV testing assays. Participants will be asked to use the Teal Wand to provide a self-collected sample prior to a healthcare provider collected sample to be tested for hrHPV. Secondary measure will include usability and preferences.
This is a follow-up study for patients treated with FluBHPVE6E7 in previous interventional studies.
Regularly attending for Pap test cervical cancer screening in a clinic is often unfeasible and/or unacceptable to many women. This study evaluates if mailing and testing self-sampled kits for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) can cost-effectively increase screening participation among underserved minority women in a safety-net health system.
UCLA and Northeast Valley Health Center (NEVHC), a large, multi-site Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), are partnering to address underutilization of the prophylactic HPV vaccine among underserved, ethnic minority adolescents receiving care through FQHCs. We will use a cluster randomized 2x2 stepped-wedge factorial study design, implemented in seven NEVHC clinics, to compare the effectiveness of parent reminders (mailed and text), multi-component clinic system strategies, a combined intervention (parent reminders + clinic system strategies) and usual care on HPV vaccine series completion among NEVHC adolescent patients. FQHCs provide essential health care to underserved groups and have the infrastructure to sustain effective strategies to improve preventive care delivery. Therefore, study findings will be invaluable for informing future efforts to improve HPV vaccination at the population-level.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of assessing HR-HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA via self-collected menstrual blood in a smart menstrual pad. In other words, can the investigators detect the high risk strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) that are associated with cervical cancer in self-collected menstrual blood, as an alternative to collecting vaginal swabs.
This phase IV trial investigates whether one dose of a human papillomavirus vaccine works as well as two doses in preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Certain types of HPV cause almost all cases of cervical cancer. Vaccines that protect against infection with these types of human papillomavirus may reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Both Gardasil-9 and Cervarix protect against HPV 16 and 18, which cause 70% of all cervical cancers. However, HPV vaccination rates are too low, especially in countries with very high rates of cervical cancer. HPV vaccines are expensive-many countries cannot afford them-more than one dose is needed, and giving multiple doses is difficult. Researchers want to find out if one dose prevents HPV infection. If it does, more people might get the vaccine.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) assays are likely to be used in cervical cancer screening. Our objective is to simplify the method of collection of female genital tract specimens by determining if vaginal dry swabs are as accurate as the standard transport medium for HPV diagnosis.
Up to 30% of Canadian women do not participate in Pap smear screening for cervical cancer prevention despite many being members of family practices and having access to family physicians. One reason is reluctance to undergo pelvic examination. The investigators purpose is to determine whether the offer of vaginal self sample collection for oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) testing increases participation in cervical cancer screening compared to repeat reminder for Pap smear testing among female family practice members who have not previously responded to invitations for Pap testing.
This project will compare the rate of regression of minimally abnormal Pap smears to normal in women who receive Gardasil to a historical control group. Research hypothesis: Women with low grade cervical dysplasia on Papanicolaou (Pap) smear that receive Gardasil vaccination will revert to a normal within one year at a rate 33% higher than historical controls that did not receive Gardasil vaccination.
