'Pap smear' arm: women are invited to participate in a preventive consultation. This consultation is followed by direct patient referral for Pap smear testing in a partner health facility.

'Self-collected vaginal swab for HPV testing + pap smear triage' arm : women are invited to participate in a preventive consultation. This consultation is followed by patient referral for Pap smear testing in a partner health facility if the HPV-HR test is positive.

A women who tests negative for HPV-HR can still be referred for further Pap smear testing, or can be referred for a gynaecological consultation for any other reason.

Women are invited to participate in a preventive consultation. Doctor of the World staff provides women with information in their mother tongue and uses visuals adressing cervical cancer, its causes and consequences and ways to prevent it.

Every year, in France, 3 000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, and 1 000 die each year. Recent studies highlighted regional, social and economical inequalities with respect to cervical cancer incidence.

In France, the pap-smear test is currently the reference test in order to screen for cervical cancer and neoplasia (CIN). Screening and treatment reduced the incidence and the mortality due to cervical cancer by half in the two last decades. That said, many women are still not reached by prevention programs, especially women living in precarious conditions. In 2013, Doctors of the World France estimated that almost 70% of women aged 25 to 65 years old visiting its medical facilities had never had of a pap-smear test.

The main study objectives are :

Primary objective

To compare the proportion of individuals with abnormal cytology across two screening strategies in order to determine which strategy detects a greater proportion of individuals with abnormal cytology.

These two strategies consist of a preventive consultation followed by:

1. Direct patient referral for Pap smear testing in a partner health facility ('Pap smear' study arm)
2. An invitation to perform a self-collected vaginal swab for HPV-HR testing followed by patient referral for Pap smear testing in a partner health facility if the HPV-HR test is positive\* ('self-collected vaginal swab for HPV-HR testing + Pap smear triage' study arm) \*A women who tests negative for HPV-HR can still be referred for further Pap smear testing, or can be referred for a gynaecological consultation for any other reason.

First of secondary objectives:

To evaluate the proportion of individuals who completed cervical cancer screening in each study arm in order to determine which strategy resulted in greater screening participation.

The above clarification of the study objectives and the related changes in the study protocole have been approved by the Comité de Protection des Personnes Ile de France IV.

Woman aged 25 to 65 years old met within one of Doctors of the World participating programs will be offered to attend a preventive consultation adressing sexual and reproductive health, and cervical cancer screening. Seven programs are taking part in this study (medical facilities and mobile health programs) in four french cities. Those programs aim to facilitate access to care for people who do not seek or have little access to health services and preventive health measures (lack of health insurance, living far from health services, knowing little about preventive health and how the health system works in France).

These two cervical screening strategies consist of a preventive consultation followed by:

1. Direct patient referral for Pap smear testing in a partner health facility ('Pap smear' study arm)
2. An invitation to perform a self-collected vaginal swab for HPV-HR testing followed by patient referral for Pap smear testing in a partner health facility if the HPV-HR test is positive\* ('self-collected vaginal swab for HPV-HR testing + Pap smear triage' study arm) \* A women who tests negative for HPV-HR can still be referred for further Pap smear testing, or can be referred for a gynaecological consultation for any other reason.

The inclusion of participants in one or the other study arm will be done through randomization. There will be 11 one-month periods during wich women are invited to perform a self-collected vaginal swab and 11 one-month periods during which women are directly referred to a partner health facility for Pap smear testing. Each one-month period with an invitation to perform a self-collected vaginal swab is followed by a one-month period with direct patient referral for Pap smear testing. The allocation of the starting period has been randomized for each participating program.

Doctors of the World staff who will be offering this preventive health consultation received a specific training adressing sexual and reproductive health topics, cervical screening and counseling approaches. Illustrated tools have been specially developed for this purpose. Professional translators will be sought when needed.

A four months strength training program during androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer patietns.

Patients in the control group are not discouraged from performing normal activities. They are however asked not to start a strength training program or increase their activity level in the same period as the experimental group is performing their strength training program. We will offer the control group a modified strength training program after the post-intervention assessment.

After 5-10 months on androgen deprivation therapy the patients in the intervention group go through a four months strength training intervention. The patients will perform three strength-training sessions per week, two under supervision of a sport instructor. Each session will consists of one-three sets of nine strength-training exercises, performed at an intensity of 6 or 10 repetitions of maximum (6-10 RM).

Strength training group

Lene Thorsen, PhD

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a four months strength training program on physical and psychological health in patients with prostate cancer during androgen deprivation therapy. It is hypothesized a beneficial effect of the intervention on physical and psychological health in patients with prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation.
