Summary
Brief summary
The study compares the psychosocial outcomes of different management strategies for women
with minor atypia (including 'HPV effect') detected on Pap smears: conventional management (a
repeat Pap smear at 6 months) versus Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing, a new method
proposed for the management of minor atypia and the informed choice of either management
supported by a decision aid.

The study examines women's informed preferences for each of these options and compares the
psychosocial outcomes in women who are or are not given the choice of management.

HPV DNA testing offers considerable changes to the management of women with minor atypia and
there is evidence from the USA which suggests that the use of HPV DNA testing as a triage
strategy is effective for women within this group (Solomon et al 2001). The introduction of
HPV DNA testing may bring both benefits and harms to women. These harms and benefits are not
well understood. Examination of the psychosocial outcomes of HPV DNA testing compared to
conventional management and women's preferences for each is needed to guide decisions
concerning HPV DNA testing in cervical screening in Australia and also internationally.
