Median values of cellularity (cells/reaction) across different types of samples.

	Matched cervical and vaginal specimens (n = 449)*			Matched cervical and FVU specimens (n = 447)*
	Clinician‐ collected cervical samples	Vaginal self‐collected samples	p value	Clinician‐collected cervical samples	FVU self‐collected samples	p value
