Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Using a novel HPV detection method (low vaginal self-sampling with cotton swab and HPV molecular testing with the Roche Cobas 4800 platform), as a primary screening test for cervical screening. Invitation through the primary care clinic (monthly matched lists between primary care enrolled patient and cervical screening register is routine practice, these lists will be used for recruitment). Invitation to attend the clinic, discuss the study and consent. Women able to complete the self-sampling at the clinic (in the bathroom) during this visit or take it home and return the kit to the clinic. Women are asked their preference for receipt of results. All results are provided to women, even it is usual practice for the clinic not to return negative results. Negative results will be phoned or text per patient preference. Positive results women will be phoned and asked to attend a clinic to discuss with the GP, practice nurse or research nurse. The completed kits are stable for 6 months for analysis and will be processed if received before this date.

Feasibility study of the impact of this intervention on cervical screening programme participation. The study is therefore assessing: a novel device, a potential process-of-care change, impact on behavioural change and preventive care.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 299799 0
Participation rate (uptake) of HPV self-sampling. Sample population are eligible women identified on primary care data-matched lists as never-screened or underscreened (5 years since last recorded screen) and Maori. The proportion of these women able to be contacted, who perform the self test and for whom a laboratory test result is received.
Timepoint [1] 299799 0
12 months post offer of self-test kit from datamatched list.
Primary outcome [2] 299800 0
Prevalence of high risk HPV genotypes from self test low vaginal swab, as detected by the Roche Cobas 4800 platform (negative, positive HPV16, HPV18, or 'other' high risk HPV type).
Timepoint [2] 299800 0
12 months post offer of self-test kit from datamatched list.
Primary outcome [3] 299801 0
Follow up rate of HPV positive women for cytology with primary care provider or colposcopy at hospital clinic as assessed by National Cervical Screening Programme Register (records all cytology and histology events), general practice electronic records, and colposcopy clinical electronic records.
Timepoint [3] 299801 0
6 months post HPV positive test recorded in the National Cervical Screening Programme Register.
Secondary outcome [1] 328168 0
Provider knowledge questionnaire - composite outcome based on validated questionnaire tool developed in the UK Sue Sherman (Keele University) with primary care providers (Ref below) localised with permission. This questionnaire has ethical approval from Massey University Institutional Committee, and is already in use with providers in the Auckland and Wellington regions). This questionnaire will be completed with different health disciplines within primary care as part of the provider education training package.

Knowledge questionnaire for women - composite outcome based on a qualitative tool developed in the UK by Sue Sherman (Keele University) HPV public knowledge questionnaire (Ref below) has been localised with permission for this purpose. This questionnaire will be optional for women, and will be completed prior to the HPV self-sample test in order to more accurately reflect baseline level of HPV knowledge before detailed discussion related to self-sampling consent.
