Reported concerns included inaccurate specimen collection, transport difficulties, and risk of injury. Participants emphasized that public outreach and education for both women and providers are essential to policy success. They also stressed that women at risk, or with gynecologic symptoms, must be examined by a clinician. Providers further called for a consensus clinical-practice protocol for cervical cancer screening.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Self-collected HPV DNA testing was perceived as acceptable and was supported by both providers and target women. Raising awareness of the importance of screening is critical to maximizing uptake. However, self-collected HPV DNA testing cannot replace clinical assessment of symptomatic women.
