Abstract

This chapter discusses the importance of providing women with information about human papillomavirus and its role as the causative agent in the development of cervical cancer. Studies assessing current levels of knowledge among the general public are reviewed. What women need to know will be covered, followed by possible strategies for implementation. There are no randomised controlled trials to review regarding information for women about human papillomavirus but a number of well-conducted qualitative studies explore the issues that are faced both by the women undergoing cervical screening and their healthcare providers.
