Acceptability of Human Papillomavirus Self-Sampling for Cervical Cancer Screening in an Indigenous Community in Guatemala
Open accessAbstract
Purpose: Cervical cancer rates in Latin America are higher than those in developed countries, likely because of the lower prevalence of screening. Specifically, less than 40% of women in Guatemala are regularly screened and even fewer women are screened in indigenous communities. Current screening strategies—Pap smears and visual inspection with acetic acid—might not be the most effective methods for controlling cancer in these settings. We thus investigated the potential of self-collection of cervical samples with testing for human papillomavirus (HPV) to help prevent cervical cancer in an indigenous community in Guatemala. Patients and Methods: A community representative random sample of 202 indigenous women age 18 to 60 years residing in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala, were surveyed to assess knowledge of and risk factors for HPV and cervical cancer. Women were then invited to self-collect a cervical sample using HerSwab collection kits to assess the prevalence of HPV and the acceptability of self-sampling. Results: Of 202 women who completed the survey, 178 (89%) provided a self-sample. In all, 79% of these women found the test comfortable, 91% found the test easy to use, and 100% reported they were willing to perform the test periodically as a screening method. Thirty-one samples (17%) were positive for at least one of 13 high-risk HPV types, and eight (4.5%) were positive for HPV 16/18. Conclusion: HPV testing by using self-collected samples was well accepted, suggesting that it is a plausible modality for cervical cancer screening in indigenous communities. Further studies are needed to assess rates of follow-up after a positive test and to determine whether these findings extend to other indigenous and nonindigenous communities in Guatemala and Latin America.

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].”
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 [33]
The Discussion reports high acceptability and positive experiences with HPV self-collection, and says its results are consistent with previous studies in Asia and Africa. But this source’s own study was conducted in Guatemala, not Africa or Asia; it also does not assess women in rural western Kenya. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe 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.

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 [33]
The Results (Self-Collection Acceptability; page unavailable) report that most participants preferred screening at home to screening by a physician. Our copy does not say why: searches for speculum use, embarrassment, and reluctance to see a male provider found no passage addressing those concerns. The Discussion’s comparison with studies in Africa and Asia concerns acceptance of self-screening, not those specific barriers. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
