Cervical cancer is a global public health problem as it is the fourth most common cancer among women globally. This study aimed to examine the cues to action, attitudes among female staff at Lead City University (LCU), Ibadan. Using a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design, the study surveyed 184 female staff aged 18 and above, employing a multi-stage sampling technique to ensure diverse representation. A validated, structured questionnaire was used for data collection, with reliability coefficient of 0.8 Analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, employing descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained before data collection. The results revealed significant findings on cues to action, with 98.3% of respondents strongly agreeing that a family history of cervical cancer would prompt screening uptake. However, social media and information sources were less influential, with only 27.2% agreeing to their impact. Attitudes towards CCS showed a mix of barriers and enablers. While 64% of respondents demonstrated a positive attitude. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address barriers such as cost, accessibility, and awareness. Promoting family and cultural involvement, coupled with robust health communication strategies, could significantly improve CCS uptake among women at LCU.
