dc.description.abstract | ObjectiveTo investigate promoters and barriers for cervical cancer screening in rural Tanzania.MethodsWe interviewed 300 women of reproductive age living in Kiwangwa village, Tanzania. The odds of attending a free, 2‐day screening service were compared with sociodemographic variables, lifestyle factors, and knowledge and attitudes surrounding cervical cancer using multivariable logistic regression.ResultsCompared with women who did not attend the screening service (n = 195), women who attended (n = 105) were older (OR 4.29; 95% CI, 1.61–11.48, age 40–49 years versus 20–29 years), listened regularly to the radio (OR 24.76; 95% CI, 11.49–53.33, listened to radio 1–3 times per week versus not at all), had a poorer quality of life (OR 4.91; CI, 1.96–12.32, lowest versus highest score), had faced cost barriers to obtaining health care in the preceding year (OR 2.24; 95% CI, 1.11–4.53, yes versus no), and held a more positive attitude toward cervical cancer screening (OR 4.64; 95% CI, 1.39–15.55, least versus most averse).ConclusionEfforts aimed at improving screening rates in rural Tanzania need to address both structural and individual‐level barriers, including knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer prevention, cost barriers to care, and access to health information. | |
