Coding Matrix - Understanding knowledge, beliefs, values and barriers towards cervical cancer screening and self-sampling amongst migrant Muslim women in southwest London: An in-depth qualitative interview study

Novel screening methods are needed to increase access to cervical screening, and migrant Muslim women in the UK are particularly at risk of screening non-attendance. In anticipation of introduction of hrHPV (high risk Human Papillomavirus) self-sampling into the UK programme, this study explored views of migrant Muslim women in southwest London, on understanding of cervical screening, barriers and motivators to engagement, and acceptability of low vaginal self-sampling.
Qualitative in-depth semi-structured individual interviews via MS Teams video call of 18 Muslim migrant women, with purposive and snowball recruitment. Inductive thematic framework analysis carried out using NVivo 14 and coding matrix developed using MS Excel. Coding matrix displayed here in repository.
