Abstract: This document is a research report focused on Yap, Federated States of Micronesia, covering the time period of 2022. It examines the acceptability and feasibility of a community-based participatory research project that compares cytology and urine HPV DNA testing for cervical cancer screening. The study involves local community members and healthcare providers, aiming to assess the effectiveness of these screening methods within the specific cultural and social context of Yap. The report discusses the methodologies employed, including participant recruitment, data collection techniques, and community engagement strategies. It addresses specific taxa related to human health, particularly cervical cancer, and the implications of HPV testing in a Pacific Island context. The document also outlines the legal and ethical frameworks guiding the research, emphasizing the importance of informed consent and community involvement in health research. The findings are intended to inform future public health initiatives and cervical cancer screening programs in Yap and similar regions.
