3.9. Data Analysis
REGRESSION, EVENTS
To determine the factors associated with the uptake, and HPV prevalence at baseline (0 months) in clinic-based versus home-based HPV self-sampling from the baseline data, descriptive statistics, as well as univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression would be considered. The difference in uptake over the study period (effectiveness of clinic-based versus home-based HPV self-sampling) could be determined using the intention-to-treat analysis. We could further determine predictors of the time to continue with HPV self-sampling in both arms, and recovery, and Cox proportional hazards would be used. Content analysis could be used to analyze the qualitative data regarding the facilitators and barriers to HPV self-sampling. To estimate the cost-effectiveness of the clinic-based HPV self-sampling approach, an Excel model could be built and validated to check for the logical flow of events.
