Study on doctor vs self Pap smear methods.

Recruiting
21-65 years
Female
Phase N/A
**Summary** This study aims to see how well the Personal Pap Smear Device™ works for collecting cervical cell samples compared to the Rover Cervex-Brush. The Pap smear test looks for changes in the cells of the cervix that could lead to cancer. This study is for women aged 21-65 who can read and understand English and have no conditions that would affect consent. **Key Points:** - **Study Duration and Visits:** You may need to visit the study site once for the sample collection, and your participation will be brief. - **Risks:** There may be minor discomfort during the sample collection, similar to a regular Pap smear. - **Compensation:** Participants may receive compensation for their time and travel. Please note, you cannot join if you're on your period, pregnant, or have certain medical conditions like a history of cervical cancer treatment or recent cervical infections. This study helps compare two ways of collecting cervical cells to ensure the best method is used for health checks. **Eligibility:** Must be a healthy woman aged 21-65, able to understand English, and willing to give informed consent.
