This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing two different ways to encourage women who haven't had cervical cancer screening recently to get tested. One group will receive an informational letter about the importance of screening, while the other group will receive a free home self-sampling kit that tests for HPV (the virus that can cause cervical cancer). Researchers want to see which approach works better at getting more women screened.
Cervical cancer screening saves lives, but many women in Switzerland aren't getting tested regularly. This trial is designed to find easier, more convenient ways to reach women who have been missed by regular screening programs.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly placed into one of two groups. One group will receive a letter explaining cervical cancer screening and how to schedule an appointment at a clinic. The other group will receive a free home testing kit to collect a sample yourself and mail it back for HPV testing. Researchers will then follow up to see whether you completed screening and track your results.
