Key Points

  • Only 45.5% of women were aware of cervical cancer, and awareness of HPV was much lower at 13.4%.
  • Despite 75.1% displaying a positive attitude towards screening, only 9.7% had ever undergone cervical cancer screening.
  • The cross-sectional study surveyed 217 women in Abuja, using questionnaires to collect data and assess KAP regarding cervical cancer.
  • Barriers to screening and vaccination included lack of awareness and uncertainty about accessing health services.
