Improving Cervical Cancer Screening Coverage Among Unscreened Women Aged 50 to 74 in Switzerland Through HPV Self-Collection Strategies: A Randomized Study
Résumé de l'étude
The BRAICS project aims to improve cervical cancer screening coverage in Switzerland. It plans to invite underserved women participating in organized breast cancer screening programs to take part in cervical cancer screening. The goal of the project is to reduce inequalities in access to screening while supporting health policy decision-making.

Intervention étudiée
Intervention Group 1 (IG1) - Awareness of Cervical Cancer Screening. Women in the IG1 group will receive an awareness letter encouraging them to undergo cervical cancer screening and to make an appointment at a medical center of their choice. The letter, sent by post or email, will highlight Swiss recommendations and the importance of regular screening for early detection.
Intervention Group 2 (IG2) - HPV Self-Test at Home. Women in the IG2 group will receive a free kit for vaginal self-collection of HPV infections with a prepaid envelope for returning the sample. The samples will be analyzed for high-risk HPV types using PCR. Results will be communicated via email or post, and positive women will be contacted for thorough gynecological follow-up, which includes a Pap test and possibly further examinations.
