Appeals

 

If you want to get your story in the media or contribute to some research regarding abuse, check out the current appeals by clicking here.

 

Research: Cervical Screening Study


The appeal:
If you are a female aged 20 or over with an opinion on smear tests then this may be an appeal for you.

The deadline: End of August 2010.

The details: Some researchers at Queen Mary University of London, and University College London are carrying out some research about cervical screening (also known as the smear test) and why some women do not go, or have bad experiences when they do go.

They are particularly interested in the views and experiences of women who have been abused (either as adults or as children).

They know that it can be very difficult for some women to go for a smear test and this research aims to understand the reasons for this. They hope this will help develop ways to improve the cervical screening service. For more information and to take part in the 5 minute survey click here.
