Factors associated with clinical breast examination and cervical cancer screening uptake in Ghanaian women, Evidence from the 2022 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey

CBE and CCS uptakes were significantly higher in women with higher wealth index, higher education, and health insurance highlighting potential disparities in access to and utilization of preventive services in Ghanaian women. Tailoring policies to address the poverty burden will likely lead to an increase in breast and cervical cancer screening uptakes and potentially better health outcomes.

Abstract

CBE and CCS uptakes were significantly higher in women with higher wealth index, higher education, and health insurance highlighting potential disparities in access to and utilization of preventive services in Ghanaian women. Tailoring policies to address the poverty burden will likely lead to an increase in breast and cervical cancer screening uptakes and potentially better health outcomes.
