Mixed-methods approach to evaluate an mHealth intervention to increase adherence to triage of human papillomavirus-positive women who have performed self-collection (the ATICA study): study protocol for a hybrid type I cluster randomized effectiveness-implementation trial

Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women worldwide, with more than 85% of cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV) screening allows for self-collection with the potential to increase coverage, but still requires triage to identif...

Sumario:Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women worldwide, with more than 85% of cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV) screening allows for self-collection with the potential to increase coverage, but still requires triage to identify which HPV+ women need diagnostic and treatment procedures. However, achieving high levels of triage adherence can be challenging, especially among socially vulnerable women. This paper describes the ATICA protocol (Application of Communication and Information Technologies to Self-Collection, for its initials in Spanish), aimed at evaluating the implementation strategy and the effectiveness of a multi-component mobile health (mHealth) intervention to increase adherence to triage among women with HPV+ self-collected tests.
