Take part in a study about cervical cancer screening services

30 Jul 2021

The study aims to understand more about engagement with cervical cancer screening (CCS) services during and after the COVID-19 pandemic

‘Vicky’ is a new digital online tool being developed by researchers at our University to help people manage the reasons why they may feel hesitant, delay or don’t go for a smear test when invited. We are looking for people to provide their views, opinions, feelings, and feedback about ‘Vicky’ so that we can make improvements to the tool. 

You may qualify if you are:

  • A person with a cervix or partial cervix
  • Have either: never attended screening; been hesitant to attend screening by 6 months or more at any time in the last 10 years; have attended screening but not every 3 or 5 years as recommended during the last 10 years
  • Are aged between 25 and 64 years old
  • Not currently receiving treatment for pre-cancerous lesion or cervical cancer
  • Not currently taking part in another research study designed to increase engagement with CCS
  • Of any ethnicity or nationality
  • Are currently resident in the UK
  • Currently registered with a GP
  • Can speak, read, and write English
