Descriptive study assesses cervical cancer knowledge and attitudes in women, indicating gaps in preventive practices in Nigeria.

Key Points

  • MAIN FINDING: Only 23% of reproductive age women engaged in cervical cancer preventive behaviors like HPV vaccination and screening.
  • KEY EVIDENCE: The study found that although 52% had adequate knowledge, attitudes towards prevention remained largely negative.
  • APPROACH: A descriptive cross-sectional study analyzed data from 396 women using a self-administered questionnaire.
  • SIGNIFICANCE: Findings stress the need for public health policies to enhance HPV awareness and access to prevention services in Nigeria.
