Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCervical cancer
Intervention1. Pre-leaflet arm (Phase 1) - Surgeries will be cluster randomised with women either receiving the pre-leaflet in combination with a standard invitation letter or the standard invitation letter alone.
2. Internet booking arm (Phase 1, Manchester only) - Surgeries will be cluster randomised to women either receiving a standard invitation and reminder letter which gives them the opportunity to book online or the standard invitation and reminder letter alone.
3. Self-sampling arm (Phase 2) - Surgeries will be cluster randomised to women receiving the offer of a self-sampling test compared with standard practice of a reminder letter.
4. Nurse navigator arm (Phase 2) - Surgeries will be cluster randomised to women receiving the offer of speaking to a specialist nurse compared with standard practice of a reminder letter.
5. Timed appointment arm (Phase 2) - Surgeries will be cluster randomised to women receiving a timed appointment from their general practitioner (GP) compared with standard practice of a reminder letter.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. The uptake of cervical screening:
1.1. In response to the pre-leaflet (phase 1)
1.2. In response to the offer of each of the interventions (nurse navigator, self-sampling, timed appointments) (phase 2)
2. The uptake of internet booking (phase 1)

Measured at 3, 12 and 30 months after the date the woman become eligible for cervical screening (i.e. her 25th or 20th birthday).
Secondary outcome measures1. The differences between outcomes in Aberdeen between vaccinated and unvaccinated women
2. The differences between Aberdeen and Manchester
3. Cost-effectiveness of the interventions, individually and as packages of interventions
