Project 3a:
Attitudes of women to cervical screening and human papilloma virus testing.
The objectives of this project are to find out:
- what women know about cervical cancer, cervical screening and human papilloma virus;
- what women think, and feel, about cervical screening and the possibility of testing for human papilloma virus as part of cervical screening.
The project will involve two complementary pieces of research:
- in-depth discussions with several small groups of women (focus groups);
- sending a questionnaire to a large sample of women, selected to represent all women in Ireland (population survey)
The results of this project will help in developing health education and
information initiatives around cervical screening, the roll-out of the national
programme, and the possible introduction of human papilloma virus testing.
