Actual (reported)This study will determine patient and provider preferences regarding vaginal speculum examinations done with and without stirrups. Primary research hypothesis: Women undergoing speculum examination will experience at least 20% less physical discomfort, 20% less sense of vulnerability, and 20% less sense of loss of control when using a no-stirrup method of examination compared to traditional in-stirrup examinations. Secondary research hypothesis: 25% or less of the providers taught this alternative method of speculum examination will find it to be unacceptable.
