: This study is part of a larger research project that developed and implemented the PREVENTIVO program. The Research Ethics Committee of the University of Campinas approved this study (number 1045580; dated May 1, 2015). The Committee waived the need for informed consent. All study procedures were carried out in accordance with the approved research protocol and followed the regulatory standards of the National Health Council of Brazil. In 2017, the mayor of Indaiatuba sanctioned a law instituting the DNA-HPV test as the standard for screening, replacing conventional cytology in all public health systems. The research group had no contact with participants and accessed electronic database to generate a secondary spreadsheet for statistical analyses, without identifying subjects.
