Summary

This project looks to improve the return rate of HPV self-sampling (HPVss) as well as the management of women HPVss positive.

Detailed description

France has already implemented a cervical screening programme based on HPV test for the whole female population aged 30-65 years. Non-participant women can perform HPV test at their home. However, less than 20% of French women performed vaginal self-sampling when a kit was sent to their home. Women with lower income and educational levels participate less to cervical screening. A variety of personal, practitioner, test-related and logistical barriers negatively impact the screening participation of French women. Key barriers to participation could be addressed by overcoming disparities in HPV-related knowledge and perceptions about cervical cancer screening. This study aims to evaluate the impact of sending HPV self-sampling kit at women's home, associated with providing, through multiple mobile channels, a multi-language decision aid designed for women with lower education accessible via artificial intelligence-based ChatBot. This decision aid will help women review high quality evidence on cervical cancer disease and screening modalities.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Decision aid tailored to women with lower educational attainment,accessible via artificial intelligence-based Chatbot platforms	Non-compliant women those that have not been screened for more than 4 years and living in the disadvantaged areas will be sent screening reminder letters to perform HPV self-sampling (HPVss) test, with access to decision aid tailored to women with lower education attainment and available via Chatbot platforms. ChatBot will deliver information in a responsive, conversational way via text and spoken language in multiple languages through multiple mobile channels.
