Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer (CC) screening participation remains suboptimal among vulnerable populations in France. This study aimed to develop and evaluate AppDate-You, a chatbot-based decision aid, to support women from socioeconomically disadvantaged areas in the French Occitanie region to make informed decisions about CC screening, particularly human papillomavirus self-sampling (HPVss).
