ClinConnect Summary
The study team will recruit a sample of underscreened Latinas (n=100) who will be randomly assigned to either the educational intervention (n=50) or a control condition (n=50). Feasibility will be measured through study enrollment and intervention completion (defined as the proportion of women who self-collect a sample). Acceptability of intervention materials and self-sampling procedures will be measured using self-report surveys at follow-up assessments.
