Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of a linguistically-tailored mobile intervention, called CervixChat in improving the follow-up of patients with abnormal Papanicolaou (pap) test results. A text messaging program, such as CervixChat may support patients who need a colposcopy.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the feasibility of CervixChat intervention in a mix method design, through participants consent rate and the study completion rate. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the acceptability of CervixChat intervention using a validated Likert-scale participant satisfaction questionnaire, as well as participant's interview data. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the preliminary impact of CervixChat intervention, by comparing the colposcopy appointment adherence rate in the study cohort against a 1:1 matched control sample selected based on matching age, race and ethnicity, from participants at Jefferson Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob-Gyn) department scheduled for a colposcopy in 2019. OUTLINE: Patients receive text messages for 1-2 months before scheduled appointment. Patients also complete a survey at baseline and after standard of care colposcopy and an interview after standard of care colposcopy. After completion of study, patients are followed up periodically.
