Université de Sherbrooke400 enrolled

Overview

We propose a cross-sectional study to explore the acceptability and feasibility of HPV self-sampling among Quebec women. The study will invite eligible women to self-sample for HPV at home. The HPV risk factors of patients included in the study will be taken into consideration (vaccination, smoking, number of partners, date of last screening, etc.).
