Screening
Women who were eligible to participate were seen by a member of the
research staff to obtain informed consent in Kannada , the
predominant language spoken in the region. Participants then answered an
interviewer administered brief questionnaire to collect
socio-demographic, reproductive, and health data, as well as an
assessment of knowledge regarding cervical cancer. After the screening
was completed, they completed a short interviewer-administered survey on
acceptability of the collection method.
