Client perspectives and satisfaction with integrating facility and community-based HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening with family planning: a mixed method study
Our findings highlight that women were satisfied with HPV self-sampling, valuing its convenience, privacy, and cost-effectiveness, which enhanced their willingness to undergo CCS. These findings suggest that integrating CCS self-sampling into FP services could potentially improve CCS uptake in Malawi.
