Promoting Healthy Lifestyles for Cervical Cancer Prevention Among Adolescents: A Systematic Literature Review

Background: Cervical cancer constitutes a major worldwide health concern, especially in developing nations, where it persists as a primary cause of cancer-related mortality among women.Adolescents represent a pivotal population for intervention, as they are in a stage where healthy lifestyle habits can be established to mitigate the risk of cervical cancer in the future.Purpose: This study aims to systematically review existing literature to identify effective strategies for promoting healthy lifestyles among adolescents to prevent cervical cancer.Method: A systematic literature review was performed utilizing databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.Articles published between 2018 and 2025 were selected according to inclusion criteria emphasizing cervical cancer prevention, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and teenage demographics.We identified and examined essential themes and tactics to assess their effectiveness. Results: The review identified three primary strategies to prevent cervical cancer: (1) enhancing public awareness and education regarding the HPV vaccine and cervical cancer risk factors; (2) promoting healthy behaviours such as proper nutrition, regular exercise, and smoking cessation; and (3) engaging adolescents through school-based initiatives, social media campaigns, and peer-led interventions. The findings indicate that treatments including culturally sensitive strategies and engaging parents and teachers significantly enhance the efficacy of preventative measures. Conclusion:In conclusion, advocating for healthy lifestyles among adolescents is essential for mitigating the future incidence of cervical cancer.Integrated techniques that amalgamate education, behavioural interventions, and supportive environments effectively cultivate awareness and preventive practices.Further study is essential to evaluate the long-term effects of these interventions and to investigate creative strategies to enhance their reach and efficacy.
