Experimental Treatment
Participants will be provided the opportunity to self- sample for HPV during their ED visit. Participants will be (1) briefly instructed by study staff on how to self-sample using a defined instructional script written at an elementary reading level, (2) provided with a packaged swab, and (3) invited to self- sample privately in their ED room or in one of the private ED restrooms. Once self sampling has been completed, the study staff will then transfer the swab to a vial of transport media and forward the specimens to the laboratory for analysis. Participants recruited to the intervention arm that subsequently decline to or are unable to self-sample in the ED will remain in the study and will receive referral for clinic-based screening.
