    Comfort and convenience are behind the large uptake of people using self-screening cervical tests

    Comfort and convenience are behind the large uptake of people using self-screening cervical tests


    A study has found 95 percent of people when offered, took the self-test.

    Otago University Associate Professor Peter Sykes says this option is better for everyone involved.

    He says it's more comfortable and private for patients, and it's easy for medical professionals to organise.
