This clinical trial investigates whether educational workshops paired with self-collected human papillomavirus (HPV) screening works in improving cervical cancer screening rates in Karenni and Hmong women in Wisconsin. Karenni and Hmong immigrant women in the United States have low rates of cervical cancer screening. Factors such as modesty, fatalism, lack of knowledge, and lack of access are barriers to screening and treatment for cervical cancer. Offering a method for women to self-collect samples for HPV screening may help improve cervical cancer screening rates in Karenni and Hmong women.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate whether educational workshops paired with self-collected high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) screening will increase participation in cervical cancer screening among Hmong and Karenni refugee and immigrant populations in Wisconsin compared with offering clinician-collected screening.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate participant satisfaction with the educational workshops using satisfaction surveys.
II. To evaluate participant willingness to use self-collection as method for screening.
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP A: Participants attend educational workshop over 45 minutes.
GROUP B: Participants attend educational workshop over 45 minutes with additional education on the option of self-collection (HPV testing only).
