Abstract

We conducted a qualitative study to describe women's views and experiences of cervical cancer screening in Switzerland, in order to offer a better understanding of the different obstacles they encounter in performing this preventive measure. We also assessed whether HPV self-sampling could offer an acceptable alternative to Pap smear testing. This introduction sets the background in which the study was designed and its results analysed.
