Marrying research, clinical practice and cervical screening in Australian Aboriginal women in western New South Wales, Australia
Rural and Remote Health, 05/22/09

Read CM et al. - A research project, the ?Women, Human papilloma virus prevalence, Indigenous, Non indigenous, Urban, Rural Study? (WHINURS) was designed to obtain the HPV status of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women when they presented for their routine cervical screen. The method was a consultative approach, including national and local frameworks for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recruitment. The FPNSW Dubbo team devised a series of strategies to maximise recruitment when this did not progress according to plan. Strategies were developed to meet this challenge, including street walks, attendance at community forums, flexible appointments, drop-in times and assistance with travel and babysitting. As a result of the activities listed above, 43 women were recruited to WHINURS, just seven short of the target. Collaborative community-based consultation, as well as the research study itself increased the number of Aboriginal women accessing cervical screening at the family planning clinic. This was sustained a year after the conclusion of the study.
