  • Cross-sectional study design
  • Questionnaire assessing demographic information, HPV vaccination status, and HPV Knowledge Scale
  • Data analysis using Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests
  • 55.6% (n = 268) of women had been screened for cervical cancer
  • Only 1.9% (n = 9) had received the HPV vaccine
