Embedding Consumer‐Led Research in a Comprehensive Cancer Centre Alliance
User Testing of Information Materials Developed for the Australian National Lung Cancer Screening Program
INTRODUCTION: The Australian National Lung Cancer Screening Program commenced in July 2025. This study aimed to explore the views of community members and the health workforce on the content, language, design and presentation of the draft information materials developed for the general population and health workforce. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted between September and October 2024. Community members potentia…
Implementing HPV self-collection
Indigenous peoples in high-income settler-colonial countries experience disproportionately high cervical cancer incidence and mortality compared to non-Indigenous populations, reflecting systemic inequities and barriers to culturally safe care. HPV self-collection offers a potential solution to overcoming inequities by enabling women and people with a cervix to collect their own sample, improving autonomy, privacy, and access, and supporting cult…
Qualitative insights into the acceptability of self-collection for cervical screening amongst under- and never-screened groups in Australia
While self-collection has the potential to expand screening accessibility and may offer individual benefits, increased awareness of its availability and attention to identified barriers are needed to ensure that everyone is given true choice in the way they screen
Beyond words
Health equity is a fundamental concern within the broader health promotion aim of creating equal opportunities for health and bringing health differentials down to the lowest level possible. Cervical screening is just one example of a preventative health program where a health promotion lens is required to address entrenched health inequities. We draw on theorizations of policy ecologies to provide a framework for better understanding the process…
The role of non-medical providers in increasing access to cervical screening
INTRODUCTION: Involving non-medical providers (NMPs) in cervical screening interventions could be a promising strategy to increase cervical screening participation among never or underscreened populations. We undertook a scoping review of published literature to explore the potential role of NMPs in increasing cervical screening participation. METHODS: We searched three databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL) to identify relevant scientific resear…
‘ Why Didn't I Get That Choice?’
BACKGROUND: Australia's human papillomavirus (HPV)-based National Cervical Screening Program guidelines state that anyone eligible for screening should be offered a choice of using self-collection or clinician collection for initial screening. AIM: To explore the awareness and experiences of women and people with a cervix who have been screened since this choice became available in July 2022. METHODS: Semi-structured online or telephone interview…
The acceptability of, and informational needs related to, self‐collection cervical screening among women of Indian descent living in Victoria, Australia
BACKGROUND: In July 2022, self-collection became universally available as part of Australia's National Cervical Screening Program. This change aims to address screening inequities experienced among underscreened populations, including women of Indian descent. This study explored experiences of cervical screening, alongside the acceptability of self-collection, among women of Indian descent living in Victoria, Australia. We also aimed to articulat…
Understanding the mechanisms underlying the socioeconomic disparities in cancer screening among Australian women
This study is the first to investigate the effects of individual level SES on cancer screening in Australia and one of the few studies to examine underlying mechanisms simultaneously across various screening programs. Reducing stress and improving screening literacy may help to improve cancer screening participation among low SES individuals. Our results also suggest that tailoring interventions to the SES background of women may not enhance thei…
Inclusive language in health policy - a timely case (study) of cervical screening in Australia
Language is important in health policy development. Policy changes in Australia to increase cervical screening offers a timely case example to explore the function of inclusive language in health policy. Gender and sexuality diverse people with a cervix have been largely invisible within health promotion programs, which has led to reduced awareness of, and access to, cervical screening. Twenty-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with …
So, if she wasn’t aware of it, then how would everybody else out there be aware of it?”—Key Stakeholder Perspectives on the Initial Implementation of Self-Collection in Australia’s Cervical Screening …
Whilst the introduction of self-collection was welcomed, clear communication from Government regarding setbacks in implementation and how to overcome these in practice were needed. As Australia moves to a policy of providing everyone eligible for screening the choice of self-collection, wider promotion to providers and eligible people, clarity around pathology processes and the scaling up of test availability, as well as timely education and comm…
Developing a culturally appropriate illustrated tool for the self-collection of anorectal specimens for the testing of sexually transmitted infections
This paper describes the development of a culturally and linguistically appropriate tool for a biomedical and clinical intervention with key populations in PNG based around self-collection of anorectal specimens for molecular STI testing. The final tools have been used to facilitate the self-collection of anorectal specimens following a clear clinical protocol during a large bio-behavioural survey in PNG
Acceptability of testing for anorectal sexually transmitted infections and self-collected anal swabs in female sex workers, men who have sex with men and transgender women in Papua New Guinea
This qualitative research is the first study of acceptability of anorectal STI testing and specimen self-collection procedures in PNG, and Pacific Asia more broadly. Our qualitative findings show support for anorectal STI testing including the use of self-collected swabs among key populations in PNG. Study findings informed the inclusion of anorectal STI testing in a large bio-behavioural survey to be used to estimate anorectal STI prevalence amo…
Improving the healthcare response to domestic violence and abuse in primary care
This is the first interrupted time series analysis of an intervention to improve the health care response to domestic violence. The findings will characterise the impact of IRIS implementation outside a trial setting and its suitability for national implementation in the United Kingdom
Adiposity and cardiometabolic risk markers among Indian children
Background UK Indian adults have higher risks of coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than both Indian and UK white European adults. With growing evidence that these risks begin before adulthood, we examined whether differences in adiposity and cardiometabolic risk markers were apparent between Indian children who live in India compared to Indian and white European children who live in the UK. Methods Comparisons of cardiometabolic ma…
