Women's attitudes and understanding of cervical cancer and the new National Cervical Screening Program.

CONCLUSION: Many women do not have accurate knowledge of the new NCSP. Further health promotion in this area is warranted, where the general practitioner may play a key role. SO WHAT?: While the new NCSP will lead to further reduction in cervical cancer mortality, it appears from the data that women did not fully understand cervical cancer and its screening. This suggests the need for further health education to women about updated screening guidelines. PMID: 32475013 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
