Despite global acceptance that cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable through vaccination and screening, w\u0101hine M\u0101ori (M\u0101ori women) are more likely to have cervical cancer and 2.5 times more likely to die from it than non-M\u0101ori women. Rural M\u0101ori residents diagnosed with cervical cancer have worse outcomes than urban residents. Living in rural Aotearoa means experiencing barriers to appropriate and timely health care, resulting from distance, the lack of community resourcing, and low prioritization of rural needs by the health system and government. These barriers are compounded by the current screening processes and referral pathways that create delays at each step. Screening for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) and point-of-care (POC) testing are scientific advances used globally to prevent cervical cancer.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study aims to compare acceptability, feasibility, timeliness, referral to, and attendance for colposcopy following hrHPV detection between a community-controlled pathway and standard care.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This is a cluster randomized crossover trial, with 2 primary care practices (study sites) as clusters. Each site was randomized to implement either pathway 1 or 2, with crossover occurring at 15 months. Pathway 1 (community-controlled pathway) comprises HPV self-testing, 1-hour POC results, face-to-face information, support, and immediate referral to colposcopy for women with a positive test result. Pathway 2 (standard care) comprises HPV self-testing, laboratory analysis, usual results giving, information, support, and standard referral pathways for women with a positive test result. The primary outcome is the proportion of women with hrHPV-positive results having a colposcopy within 20 working days of the HPV test (national performance indicator). Qualitative research will analyze successes and challenges of both pathways from the perspectives of governance groups, clinical staff, women, and their family. This information will directly inform the new National Cervical Screening Program.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In the first 15-month period, 743 eligible HPV self-tests were performed: 370 in pathway 1 with POC testing and 373 in pathway 2 with laboratory testing. The positivity rate for hrHPV was 7.3% (54\/743). Data collection for the second period, qualitative interviews, and analyses are ongoing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This M\u0101ori-centered study combines quantitative and qualitative research to compare 2 clinical pathways from detection of hrHPV to colposcopy. This protocol draws on rural community practices strengths, successfully engaging M\u0101ori from a wh\u0101nau ora (family wellness) approach including kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face), kai\u0101whina (nonclinical community health workers), and multiple venues for interventions. It will inform the theory and practice of rural models of the use of innovative technology, addressing M\u0101ori cervical cancer inequities and facilitating M\u0101ori wellness. The findings are anticipated to be applicable to other Indigenous and rural people in high-income countries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n Australian New Zealand
