Observational analysis shows high acceptability of HPV self-collection in Black women, indicating its potential to improve cervical cancer screening access.

Key Points

  • HPV self-collection was found acceptable and preferred by 60% of participants, highlighting its potential in cervical cancer prevention.
  • In a sample of 75 women referred for colposcopy, 72 completed the questionnaire, with 96% expressing ease in self-collection.
  • The majority of respondents, particularly Black women, reported no discomfort during the procedure, emphasizing its feasibility.
  • Clear instructions for self-collection were recognized by 99% of participants, which may contribute to higher screening rates.
