Participants mainly described pelvic examinations as respectful and reassuring. A majority incorrectly believed pelvic examinations were useful in detecting ovarian cancer. A majority incorrectly believed they were needed for sexually transmitted infection screening. A majority incorrectly believed the examinations were necessary before initiating contraception. Reading the guideline, fewer women planned to continue yearly pelvic examination.
