Cervical cancer screening uptake and determinant factors among women in Ambo town, Western Oromia, Ethiopia: Community‐based cross‐sectional study

Background Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer‐related death in Ethiopian women. About 77.6% of women died of 6294 new cases reported in 2019. Early screening for cervical cancer has substantially reduced morbidity and mortality attributed to it. In Ethiopia, most of the women visit the health facilities at the late stage of the disease in which the offered intervention is not promising. Therefore, we aimed to assess the level of cervical cancer screening uptake and its determinant among women of Ambo town, Ethiopia. Methods Community‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted among 422 women aged 20–65 years. An interviewer‐administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Estimates were presented using an odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI. Statistical significance was declared at a p value of
