Project
Promoting HPV self-testing among Pacific women
Pacific women are under screened for cervical cancer and are more likely to die from cervical cancer than NZ European women. This project will involve talking to groups of Pacific women who have participated in a self-testing randomised controlled trial or other women who are under-screened for cervical cancer to find out how self-testing can be delivered in a way that works for Pacific women if it is incorporated into the National Cervical Screening Programme.
This project is near completion.
