Correlates of women’s intentions to be screened for human papillomavirus for cervical cancer screening with an extended interval
Acceptability of increased screening intervals and starting age could be improved through enhanced education of benefits. Program planners should consider measures to assess and improve women's knowledge, attitudes and beliefs prior to the implementation of new screening programs to avoid unintended consequences

Women’s intentions to self-collect samples for human papillomavirus testing in an organized cervical cancer screening program
The primary predictor of a woman's intention to HPV self-collect for cervical cancer screening was her attitude towards the procedure. From a program planning perspective, these results indicate that education and awareness may be significant contributing factors to improving acceptance of self-collection and subsequently, improving screening attendance rates
HPV Dectection by Self-Sampling in Nunavik, Quebec
There is a higher incidence of cervical cancer and prevalence of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among the Inuit in Canada than the general population. Self-sampling of cervicovaginal cells for HPV testing has the potential to increase cervical cancer screening coverage in this population, but only if it is acceptable to women. We sought to determine acceptance of and preference for self-collection of cervicovaginal samples for HPV t…
Factors associated with cervical cancer screening uptake among Inuit women in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada
Our results suggest that older women and women who are not accessing reproductive care have a lower compliance with time-appropriate cervical cancer screening and future research should address potential strategies to increase screening coverage among this group
O6-1.1 The global status of epidemiology
To take stock of the current status of epidemiology throughout the world, the International Epidemiological Association commissioned a series of eight reviews that are being published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, starting in February 2011. Each review addresses one region of the world, and starts by describing the burden of disease and the current status of epidemiology, covering human resources, training, academic and research i…
Brief Research Report
We sought to describe information that makes women feel (1) uncertain and (2) reassured about their human papillomavirus (HPV) status and the potential health implications of an HPV DNA test result and (3) to examine information seeking after receiving their result. Thirty women (previously tested HPV negative) read factual information on HPV and cervical cancer and were asked which facts were uncertainty inducing and which were reassuring. Twent…
Reproductive Health of Adolescent Girls Perinatally Infected With HIV
Objectives. We sought to describe the reproductive health of adolescent girls perinatally infected with HIV. Methods. We estimated the incidence of first pregnancy, genital infections, and abnormal cervical cytology for 638 girls aged 13 years and older in the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group protocol 219C. Results. Thirty-eight girls became pregnant, for a first pregnancy rate of 18.8/ 1000 person-years; 7 of these girls had additional pregn…
Brogly Et Al. Respond
We would like to thank Woo and Sterling1 for their suggestion of alternative or complementary modes of transmission for the genital condylomata that we observed in young girls enrolled in the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group protocol 219C who had been perinatally infected with human immunodeficiency virus.2 We speculated that these cases of genital condylomata might have occurred through perinatal transmission of the human papilloma virus (HP…
Design and methods of the Ludwig-McGill longitudinal study of the natural history of human papillomavirus infection and cervical neoplasia in Brazil
This article reports on a large longitudinal study, begun in 1993, of the natural history of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical neoplasia in a population of low-income women in São Paulo, Brazil, a city with one of the highest risks worldwide for cervical cancer. Known as the Ludwig-McGill cohort study, the epidemiological investigation focuses on persistent infection with oncogenic HPV types as the precursor event leading to cervi…
High Rates of HIV Infection among Injection Drug Users Participating in Needle Exchange Programs in Montreal
Needle exchange programs (NEPs) are designed to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission among injection drug users. Although most studies report beneficial effects in terms of behavior modification, a direct assessment of the effectiveness of NEPs in preventing HIV infection has been lacking. A cohort study was conducted to assess the association between risk behaviors and HIV seroprevalence and seroincidence among injection drug …
A randomized trial to evaluate the risk of gastrointestinal disease due to consumption of drinking water meeting current microbiological standards
BACKGROUND: This project directly and empirically measured the level of gastrointestinal (GI) illness related to the consumption of tapwater prepared from sewage-contaminated surface waters and meeting current water quality criteria. METHODS: A randomized intervention trial was carried out; 299 eligible households were supplied with domestic water filters (reverse-osmosis) that eliminate microbial and chemical contaminants from their water, and 3…
