Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization has reported an increase in cervical cancer cases in Ghana, where most women rely on opportunistic Pap smear screenings, but there's a need to understand sociodemographic factors influencing these screenings.
- A survey was conducted with 197 women seeking Pap tests, revealing that most participants were market women and uneducated, with 86% having no prior cervical cancer screenings.
- Results showed that education level, occupation, and family history of cancer were linked to the frequency of Pap smear tests, while the main barrier to screening was the lack of information about the test.
