Association between mass media exposure and cervical cancer screening uptake among women aged 30–49 years in four sub-Saharan African countries: a pooled analysis of demographic and health surveys

This study demonstrated a positive association between mass media exposure and uptake of cervical cancer screening among women in SSA. This highlights the important role that mass media can play in promoting the uptake of screening in the region. Thus, increasing access to media platforms, such as radio, television, and newspapers could enhance awareness and participation in cervical cancer screening services, ultimately helping reduce the disease burden in SSA.
