Federal Cervical Cancer Collaborative Resources

The Federal Cervical Cancer Collaborative (FCCC) develops resources to advance equitable cervical cancer prevention, screening, and management in safety-net settings. Safety-net settings are places where people with limited or no insurance can receive care. People who are low-income can access services, as well.

What is the Toolkit to Build Provider Capacity and who should use it?

This toolkit helps providers improve equitable cervical cancer prevention, screening, and management. In this toolkit, "providers" means all people involved in cervical cancer care. This includes anyone who interacts with patients or supports patient care.

We suggest that providers use the toolkit to:

  • Improve quality of care
  • Train staff
  • Communicate and engage with patients
  • Assess current cervical cancer programs

What is the Improving Patient Engagement in Cervical Cancer Prevention Toolkit?

This toolkit helps increase patient and community engagement in cervical cancer prevention, screening, and management.

The toolkit has four sections:

  1. Introduction: Overview, importance of patient engagement, and the role of health centers.
  2. Patient Engagement Materials: These items include a social media calendar, screening by age poster, live read script, text message library, LGBTQIA+ poster, and cervical screening follow-up card. Download the social media graphics, posters, and follow-up cards.
  3. Community Partner Guide: Browse suggestions on how to work with partners in your community.
  4. Additional Resources: Help your patients understand HPV infection, screening, and test results.

Who should use this toolkit?

This toolkit is for people who work at health centers and safety-net settings. This includes health care providers, office staff, patient navigators, and volunteers.

How should I use the materials in this toolkit?

You can use these materials to promote vaccination, screening, and management. You can adapt and tailor these materials to your community’s needs.
