Project 3b:
Psychosocial impact of cervical screening and human papilloma virus testing.
The objectives of this project are to:
- investigate the psychosocial impact (e.g. worried, anxiety, etc) on women of having a cervical smear test;
- explore how this impact varies according to the result of the smear, and other factors; and
- examine what would be the impact of testing for human papilloma virus.
The results of this project will help in developing health education and
information initiatives aimed at minimising the adverse psychosocial impact
on women of participating in cervical screening.
- Project 3a: Attitudes of women to cervical screening and human papilloma virus testing and human papilloma virus vaccination.
