Written Educational Information & Phone Calls in Increasing Follow-Up Care

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Written educational materials and counseling by phone may help promote follow-up care in women with abnormal Pap smears.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well written educational information and phone calls work in increasing follow-up care in Hispanic women with abnormal Pap smears.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the reasons for nonadherence to follow-up in Hispanic women with abnormal Pap smear findings.

- Assess the effect of written educational information and phone calls on follow-up rate in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, cross-sectional, controlled, multicenter study. Patients are sequentially assigned to 1 of 3 intervention groups.

- Group 1 (control): Patients complete a standardized Spanish survey questionnaire, assessing their demographic information, knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, experiences with cervical screening, past medical history, and prior treatment, either in person (for those who kept their colposcopy appointment) or over the telephone (for those who did not keep their colposcopy appointment). Additional questions are added for patients who did not keep their colposcopy appointment to test for differences and to learn the reasons for not keeping their appointment.

- Group 2 (written educational information): Patients receive notification of their colposcopy appointment and an educational letter about Pap smears, cervical cancer risk, and the purpose and procedure of colposcopy. They complete the standardized Spanish survey questionnaire as in group 1.

- Group 3 (phone call): Patients receive notification of their colposcopy appointment and a personal telephone call educating them about Pap smears, cervical cancer risk, and the purpose and procedure of colposcopy. They complete the standardized Spanish survey questionnaire as in group 1.

All patients are asked to agree to submit residual Pap smear fluid to the Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University tumor bank, and be included in a tracking system to insure future follow-up communications. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
