Research Question:
Will using text messaging prompts increase cervical cancer screening uptake among emergency department patients?

Basic Study Information

Purpose:
Invasive cervical cancer is preventable with adequate screening but screening rates are considerably below national goals. Emergency departments care for a disproportionate number of women who are not up to date with recommended cervical cancer screening. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile technology based behavioral intervention (using text messaging prompts) to increase cervical cancer screening uptake among emergency department patients.
