The finding that women in rural western Kenya had positive expectations of and personal experiences with HPV self-sampling is consistent with other studies done in Africa and Asia.
“which is consistent to other studies done in Africa and Asia [18, 19, 33–35].”
The finding on pelvic exam as a barrier to screening is consistent with other studies done in Africa and Asia which showed concerns around speculum use, embarrassment, and reluctance to have a male provider perform the exam.
“The findings on pelvic exam as a barrier to screening is consistent with other studies done in Africa and Asia [18, 19, 33–35] which showed concerns around speculum use, embarrassment, and reluctance to have a male provider perform the exam [37–39].”
From Perspectives of women participating in a cervical cancer screening campaign with community-based HPV self-sampling in rural western Kenya: a qualitative study (2019) · cites this paper as [34]
The editorial’s main text (page unavailable) reports that HPV self-collection was acceptable in studies in India and Uganda and was preferred to routine Pap testing in a Seattle study. It does not address pelvic exams as a screening barrier or report concerns about speculum use, embarrassment, or male providers. Searches for those terms found no supporting passage in our copy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
