Preferences Among U.S. Women for Cervical Cancer Screening with Self-Collected Specimens for Human Papillomavirus Testing
In this nationally representative study, more than 7 in 10 U.S. women aged 21-49 years were open to HPV self-collection for cervical cancer screening, with more than half favoring at-home collection. Preference was higher among women who were not up to date with screening. These findings provide timely evidence to inform future policy decisions and implementation strategies to improve access to cervical cancer screening.
