Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To assess the acceptability of sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing using self-collected vaginal swabs (SCVS) among college women.
PARTICIPANTS
First-year female students (N=483).
METHODS
Participants were offered free testing for 3 STIs using SCVS in April 2010 and later completed a survey regarding their testing decision and experiences.
RESULTS
Sixty-four percent (n=310) accepted testing; of these, 98% found it easy or very easy to understand the SCVS instructions, and 93% found it easy or very easy to collect the specimen. Among the 36% who did not participate in testing, most had scheduling conflicts or did not perceive a risk for STIs; only 26% felt uncomfortable about the SCVS procedure. Among all women, SCVS was preferred over other STI testing methods.
CONCLUSIONS
STI testing using SCVS was acceptable to the majority of college women and could increase the uptake of testing among sexually active college women.
摘要
目的
评估大学生群体对自我采集阴道拭子（SCVS）进行性传播感染（STI）检测的接受程度。
参与者
一年级女学生（N=483）。
方法
2010 年 4 月，参与者可免费使用 SCVS 检测 3 种 STI，并在之后完成一项关于其检测决策和体验的调查。
结果
64%（n=310）接受了检测；其中，98%的人认为 SCVS 说明书易懂，93%的人认为采集样本容易或非常容易。在 36%未参与检测的人群中，大多数人因日程安排冲突或没有意识到感染 STI 的风险而未参与检测；只有 26%的人对 SCVS 程序感到不适。在所有女性中，SCVS 比其他 STI 检测方法更受欢迎。
结论
SCVS 用于 STI 检测被大多数大学生群体接受，这可能会增加活跃的大学生群体对检测的接受度。
