This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The overall goal of this University of California, Irvine (UCI) study is to find out how many Latinas will use and mail in a home sample kit to test themselves for a virus that may sometimes cause cervical cancer and to study the cost effectiveness of the process. To do this, the investigators will compare how many kits are returned in the mail if given to them by a Latino Health Access promotora (Latina community health worker) or as a result of a Hispanic newspaper or television advertisement with a phone call request for the home sampling kit from the interested Latina. The UCI study expects to contact approximately 4,000 eligible Latina participants. A 30-50% return of the home sampling kit is expected. From this group of 2000 participants a 20% sample of participants will be invited to have a pap test in a single visit clinic appointment. The study will compare test results of home sampling kits with this random sample of clinic results on about 400 selected participants.
