This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether offering the HPV vaccine at the same time as a routine cervical cancer screening test makes more women likely to get vaccinated. Researchers in Slovenia want to understand why some women choose not to get the HPV vaccine, what would help them accept it, and whether combining vaccination with screening is an effective way to prevent cervical cancer in women who may have missed vaccination earlier.
Cervical cancer is largely preventable with HPV vaccination and regular screening, but many women in Slovenia don't get vaccinated. This study explores whether offering the vaccination during a routine gynecological visit—when women are already there for cancer screening—could be a practical way to increase vaccination rates and better protect women from cervical cancer.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would participate during a routine gynecological appointment at your cervical cancer screening clinic. During your visit, you'll have your regular cervical smear test performed, and study staff will also take an HPV sample and offer you the HPV vaccine. You'll likely be asked about your attitudes toward vaccination and any concerns you may have. The study involves one main visit, though you may have follow-up contact to gather information about whether you decided to get vaccinated.
