Two-thirds (308\/454; 67.8%) would be willing to be screened at 6 weeks postnatal for a research study and 356\/454 (78.4%) if it would be limited only to urine self-sampling. When considering screening modality, over half (245\/454; 54%) would prefer urine self-sampling to cervical screening, although a fifth (93\/454; 21%) preferred conventional sampling. Free-text responses were provided by 279 participants, and these highlighted that affective attitude and burden TFA constructs underpinned prospective acceptability of having screening at 6 weeks postnatal.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Offering cervical screening at the 6-week postnatal check-up has potential to increase cervical screening participation.
