Exploring women’s knowledge and their perception of risk of uterine cancer in Lagos, Nigeria: a multi-facility based cross-sectional study
Women's knowledge of UC and their perceived risk of developing the disease is very low in Lagos, Nigeria. Age, education, marital status, religion, knowing someone with UC and discussion with a doctor significantly influenced their knowledge and perceived susceptibility to the disease. There is a need for strategic educational interventions to address the knowledge gaps to improve health outcomes.
