Overview

Principal Investigator: Rebecca Perkins/Michael Paasche-Orlow

Cervical cancer screening is the best way to prevent cervical cancer, but navigating the next steps or understanding you results can sometimes be confusing or overwhelming. We have developed a phone app called CATCH- Cervical Abnormality Tracking and Care Hub, which provides support and education for individuals who have had a cervical cancer screening. This app is designed to simulate conversation with a healthcare provider, offering information to help users understand their results and follow up with appropriate care.
