Self-Collected Swabs for Primary HPV Screening in an Underscreened Population in Hawaii.
Objectives: This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) self-swab collection at a Hawaii-based Federally Qualified Health Center in the United States with low cervical cancer screening rates.
Methods: Patients with an indication for cervical cancer screening were approached during their scheduled primary care visit. Consenting participants self-collected a sample for primary HPV testing. After sample collection, participants completed a 5-minute written survey concerning their experience collecting the sample and knowledge of cervical cancer.
Results: From August 2023 through May 2024, 20 participants enrolled and completed the study, including 5 participants who had never undergone any prior cervical cancer screening and 7 participants over the age of 65. The HPV analysis confirmed 1 positive result. Most (17 of 20) of the participants described the self-collection process as very easy or easy. Knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer prevalence was low with only 2 of 20 participants (10%) correctly identifying the prevalence of these conditions.
Conclusions: Self-swab screening for HPV is feasible with high patient satisfaction in the studied population.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the source for the latest science about benign and malignant conditions of the cervix, vagina, vulva, and anus.
The Journal publishes peer-reviewed original research original research that addresses prevalence, causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of lower genital tract disease. We publish clinical guidelines, position papers, cost-effectiveness analyses, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews, including meta-analyses. We also publish papers about research and reporting methods, opinions about controversial medical issues. Of particular note, we encourage material in any of the above mentioned categories that is related to improving patient care, avoiding medical errors, and comparative effectiveness research. We encourage publication of evidence-based guidelines, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, and decision aids. Original research and reviews may be sub-classified according to topic: cervix and HPV, vulva and vagina, perianal and anal, basic science, and education and learning.
The scope and readership of the journal extend to several disciplines: gynecology, internal medicine, family practice, dermatology, physical therapy, pathology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, sex therapy, and pharmacology. The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease highlights needs for future research, and enhances health care.
The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease is the official journal of the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease, and the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy, and sponsored by the Australian Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology and the Society of Canadian Colposcopists.
