An interventional study of Cervical Cancer Prevention Education in Cervical Cancer, Human Papilloma Virus and HPV, sponsored by University of Miami. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-18.
Sponsored by University of Miami · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this study is to gain information about intravaginal practices, like intravaginal "twalet deba", among Haitian women living in South Florida. Intravaginal "twalet deba" may include douching, cleaning inside the vagina with different kinds of products, or using steam/vapor that enter the vagina. The investigators want to help learn the best way to increase early detection and/or prevention for cervical cancer. The investigators would like to know what plants, herbs, commercial products and medicines are used in these practices, how these products are prepared, applied, why these products are used, and how these products affect the vagina and cervix.
