FIGURE 2.

Participation rates, results, and compliance with follow-up procedures. This figure shows the number of women who were invited to participate in self-collection, the results that were received, and the numbers of participants that continued through follow-up procedures (LBC, colposcopy, and repeat self-collection). *Recommended routine screening interval of five years with CST. ** Were recalled; however could not be engaged in follow-up. ***Variation of the screening pathway as women were allowed to repeat self-collection rather than the recommended speculum examination (LBC). CST = cervical screening test; HPV = human papillomavirus; LBC = liquid-based cytology; Not 16/18 = HPV types that are either non-cancer causing, or much less likely to cause cancer; 16/18 = 70% of cervical cancer and pre-cancerous lesions are caused by HPV types 16 or 18; LSIL = low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; HSIL = high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion; Negative = no cancerous cells detected.
