Summary

The long-term objective of the parent study is "to reduce the effects of OPCa through secondary prevention (i.e., early detection, diagnosis and treatment referral)." Consistent with this, this supplement will test HPV-related interventions tailored for Sexual Minority Men (SMM). Acceptability, feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a smart-phone delivered Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPCA) self-assessment tool will be assessed. Given that homosexuality is stigmatized and criminalized in Tanzania, and that cell phone use is the key way SMM communicate in Tanzania, a self-assessment screening cell phone intervention holds particular promise for SMM in Tanzania but warrants separate evaluation.
