Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will self-collect a vaginal sample following the supplied instruction sheet and using a supplied dry flocked swab, followed by a healthcare practitioner collecting a cervical sample using a cervical collection device (brush/broom) of the practitioner's choice and placing that device in a vial of collection media (PreservCyt). Both samples wil be collected within the same clinic visit before being be tested for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) nucleic acid. There is no intervention, this study is simply about quatifying the relative sensitivity of self-collected samples compared with best practice practitioner collected samples
Intervention code [1] 296991 0
Early detection / Screening
Comparator / control treatment
Each women will supply two samples, one that was self-collected and the other which was practitioner collected. The practitioner collected specimen is the standard practice for collection of a cervical sample for HPV nucleic acid testing and will be used as the control sample
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 300881 0
Sensitivity of self-collected vaginal samples for the detection of HPV as compared to practitioner collected samples, assessed using commercially available HPV nucleic acid assays.
Timepoint [1] 300881 0
Both samples taken at the same clinical visit
Secondary outcome [1] 331107 0
Sub-analysis will be undertaken for HPV16, HPV18, vaccine HPV types, non HPV16/18 types, non vaccine HPV types, HPV negative, and invalid results. Samples will be tested on a range of different commercially available HPV nucleic acid assays and these results from different assays will be compared.
Timepoint [1] 331107 0
All samples taken at a single clinical visit

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The sensitivity of HPV nucleic acid testing between the two methods of collection will be compared. Analysis will include assessing the sensitivity (with 95% CI) of the self-collected sample compared with the practitioner collected sample. Agreement in HPV detection between self-collected and practitioner-collected samples by Kappa estimates, and the prevalence of any HPV type detected by a range of HPV nucleic acid based diagnostic testing assays, as well as a sub-analysis comparing HPV16, HPV18, vaccine-associated HPV types, non-vaccine associated HPV types, non-HPV16/18 positive results, invalid and HPV negative results.
