Beliefs and Perceptions in Attending the Cervical Screening: The COMUNISS Project Experience.
Cancers (Basel)
January 2025
Medical Management, Hygiene, Epidemiology and Hospital Infection, University Hospital of Sassari, 07100 Sassari, Italy.
Background: Several studies highlighted that tailored health communication interventions improve cervical screening participation, vaccination coverage, and awareness about self-sampling benefits. The "COMUNISS" project was aimed at increasing awareness about cervical cancer prevention, identifying barriers to screening, and promoting screening uptake in under-screened women.
Methods: A dedicated website with a Q&A session regarding HPV-associated diseases has been set up.
Home-based self-collection of biological samples, including vaginal swabs: a mixed methods study for Britain's fourth National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-4).
Sex Transm Infect

Department for Infection and Population Health, Institute for Global Health, University College London, London, UK
Article Synopsis
- The National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal) aim to estimate the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Britain through biosampling, evaluating methods for acceptability and response rates.
- Two pilot studies were conducted with participants aged 16-59, who provided urine or vaginal swab samples either during face-to-face interviews or remotely, with feedback collected to assess the processes.
- Out of 261 participants, 62% consented to biosampling, with a higher sample return from face-to-face interviews, indicating general acceptability of the biosampling methods used for STI testing in the national survey.
An outreach strategy to increase uptake of vaginal self-sampling for cervical cancer screening in older French women: The RIDECA interventional research protocol.
Womens Health (Lond)
October 2024
Laboratory of Solid Tumors, Montpellier University Hospital, PCCEI, University of Montpellier, INSERM, Montpellier, France.
Article Synopsis
- * The RIDECA project aims to evaluate how many under-screened women (aged 50-65) will participate in screening when offered a vaginal self-sampling device directly by a midwife.
- * The study will use questionnaires and interviews to understand women’s motivations and barriers to participation, and it has received ethical approval for its research methods.
Evidence from Europe on implementation, participation and performance of self-collection for cervical cancer screening.
Future Oncol
October 2024
Aquarius Population Health, London, UK.
Article Synopsis
- * Self-collection of vaginal samples for HPV testing is gaining attention as a method to improve screening participation by making it easier for individuals to take part.
- * This review begins with a case study from the Netherlands and explores the self-collection practices in Europe, discussing implementation, test performance, and identifies evidence gaps for better policy-making in screening programs.
A review of urinary HPV testing for cervical cancer management and HPV vaccine surveillance: rationale, strategies, and limitations.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
December 2024
Holosensor Medical Technology Ltd, Room 12, No. 1798, Zhonghuayuan West Road, Yushan Town, Suzhou, 215000, China.
Article Synopsis
- HPV infections are the top cause of cervical cancer, leading to significant health challenges worldwide, particularly due to inadequate vaccination and screening efforts.
- Urinary HPV testing is a promising, noninvasive method for detecting HPV, offering benefits such as easy self-collection and cost-effectiveness, showing comparable accuracy to traditional sampling methods.
- The study aims to review existing research on urinary HPV testing, addressing its benefits, strategies, and limitations, to enhance its application in both clinical practice and public health.
