Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. High risk HPV detection rate in matched urine and cervical samples at baseline 2. CIN2+ detection rates according to routine cervical screening outcomes The above measures will be used to calculate sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) of the urine HPV test for CIN2+ detection compared to routine cervical screening

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Concordance of HR-HPV+ test results in matched urine and cervical samples measured as in the primary outcome measure at baseline 2. Presence of CIN2+ measured using urine HPV+ test combined with a methylation+ test at baseline (used to calculate diagnostic test accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV) 3. Preference for urine compared to routine sampling for cervical screening assessed by participant questionnaire at baseline 4. Reasons for declining to take part in the study assessed by participant questionnaire at the time of declining
