This clinical trial studies whether adding a self-sampling kit to the standard education and navigation approach improves the cervical cancer screening rate in Asian American women. A self-sampling kit may increase women's willingness to obtain clinic-based screening. Knowledge gained from this study may help researchers learn more about the types of programs that are helpful in improving cervical cancer screening.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Compare rates of providing a self-collected sample versus (vs.) obtaining clinic-based screening among 800 Asian American women.
II. Examine mediators of participation.
III. Assess the relative cost-effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling vs. clinic-based screening.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM 1: Participants attend a culturally appropriate cervical cancer education session over 1-2 hours, receive navigation assistance to address environment and access barriers, and receive an HPV self-sampling kit.
ARM 2: Participants attend an education session and receive navigation assistance as in Arm 1.
After completion of study, participants are followed up at 6 months.
