eMJA: Effect of community consultation on recruitment of Indigenous women to a human papillomavirus prevalence study

To the Editor: We describe our experience of using community consultative strategies at a family planning clinic in Dubbo, central-west New South Wales, to increase recruitment of Indigenous women to a human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence study — WHINURS (Women, Human papillomavirus, Indigenous, Non-Indigenous, Urban, Rural Study).1 The strategies also resulted in a sustained increase in the number of Indigenous women attending the clinic for cervical screening.
