Summary

This study explores the human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collection experience among individuals with a history of sexual trauma. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women ages 29-39. Despite programs to improve accessibility of cervical cancer screening and overall high screening rates, disparities in routine surveillance have been demonstrated in certain populations, such as victims of intimate partner violence and sexual trauma. One barrier to participating in cervical cancer screening for this population is the office-based visit which necessitates the individual to undress, sit with their legs in stirrups, and undergo speculum examination for specimen collection. This type of visit may cause distress for participants who have experienced sexual violence. HPV self-collection has been studied with favorable outcomes in effectiveness and ease of use. This study evaluates the experience of HPV self-collection among individuals who have experienced sexual trauma.
