- Authors
K., Bartholomew
- Abstract
Researchers have made recommendations as to how the Government can most equitably and effectively implement rollout of human papillomavirus (HPV) self-testing. These include: Ensure centralisation of equity, specifically Māori health equity; Focus on equity in follow-up, colposcopy and treatment; Remove current data-related barriers to equitable access to screening; Ensure that the new IT system is population-based; Review the place of cervical screening in the broader context of women's health in general practice; Plan for an 'on-request' service of mailed self-testing kits; Ensure positive result triage/follow-up pathways are risk-stratified, patient-centred and have an equity lens applied; Develop and implement an education package for healthcare providers before the self-testing rollout; Create simple and culturally appropriate resources for patients explaining how to take a self-test; and initiate a communications strategy to manage public expectations.
