What makes the HERS Program for Cervical Cancer treatment unique compared to other treatments?
The HERS Program for Cervical Cancer is unique because it focuses on enhancing community capacity and empowering women, particularly those from minority groups, to engage in positive health behaviors and increase cervical cancer screening rates. This approach involves community participation and support networks, which is different from traditional medical treatments that primarily focus on direct medical interventions.12345
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study uses a hybrid Type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial to operationalize and assess the efficacy of the Health Enhancement Resource System (HERS) intervention. HERS aims to increase patient follow-up after abnormal test results through text message-based barriers counseling for women and supplemental telephone-based Health Coaching for women who miss their appointment.
