Must have

* All women with abnormal cervical cancer screening referred to Parkland gynecology dysplasia clinic as a new patient

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up up to 2 years

Awards & highlights

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial will test the effect of health system-integrated childcare on women's completion of cervical cancer screening & diagnostic work-up. Findings will inform future research to address childcare as a social determinant of health.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for women with abnormal cervical cancer screening results who are new patients at the Parkland gynecology dysplasia clinic. It aims to help those facing childcare issues which may affect their ability to attend medical appointments.

What is being tested?

The study tests if helping these women get childcare (through navigation and an electronic medical record referral) before their first clinic visit can improve their attendance compared to standard care without this support.

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves providing resources for childcare rather than a medical treatment, there are no direct side effects related to medications or procedures.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: InterventionActive Control1 Intervention

The intervention is comprised of two components to link randomized patients to our health system childcare facility: 1) navigation by the research assistant to the childcare facility and 2) placement of the facility EMR referral. Navigation will occur an eligible patient is randomized to the intervention group. Navigation will consist of the research assistant educating the patient about the childcare facility and providing information about how to access the childcare facility during the telephone contact and via mailed written materials.

Group II: Standard CareActive Control1 Intervention

Patients randomized to the control group will undergo current standard of care with regards to childcare, which currently consists of passive sources of information about our childcare facility (Parkland website, signage in the hospital, or via word of mouth). Currently, there is no formalized mechanism for patients referred to gynecology from primary care to receive information about childcare aside from the above passive sources of information.
