HPV Self-Sampling Uptake in Rural Thailand: Community vs Facility Delivery

A quasi-experimental study in a rural Thai subdistrict compared cervical cancer screening uptake via HPV self-sampling under two delivery approaches. The dataset includes results from 108 enrolled women aged 30–60 years, with primary analysis on 106 participants. It was authored by Jiraporn Butta and last updated on 2026-06-01.

Use Cases

• Compare screening uptake rates based on community-delivered versus facility-based outreach approaches.
• Assess operational feasibility and acceptability of HPV self-sampling in rural settings.
• Analyze participant-reported confidence and usability metrics for self-sampling kits.

Strengths

• Includes specific outcome metrics: 52% uptake in the community-delivered group and 35% in the facility-based group.
• Reports confidence intervals (95% CI) for the observed 17% absolute difference in uptake.
• All 106 analyzed samples were adequate for HPV testing, indicating high data quality for the primary measure.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The study's sample size of 108 participants is small, limiting statistical power and generalizability.
