Screening for cervical and breast cancer among community health care workers (ASHAs) of Puri district, Odisha
ASHAs reported low rates of screening for breast and cervical cancer. History of screening significantly influenced the referral of others for screening. ASHAs need to be empowered with both educational exposure as well as motivation for health-promoting activities for themselves, in order to increase population-wide screening coverage.
