Acceptability of Vaginal Human Papillomavirus Self-Collection Among Colposcopy Clinic Attendees

Implementation efforts should provide user-friendly instructions and emphasize the benefits of self-collection for cervical cancer screening, particularly among people less likely to engage with clinician-collected speculum-based screening.
