Sociodemographic Determinants of Cervical Cancer Screening among Ever-Married Women in Jordan: Insights from the 2023 Jordan Population and Family Health Survey
To improve cervical cancer screening rates, policymakers should prioritize poor and underserved women, particularly younger women who have lower participation rates. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure, especially in the southern governorates, and integrating preventive health education into school curricula are crucial steps toward increasing awareness and early detection. Additionally, primary prevention programs should adopt a more inclusive approach, targeting all population groups including those with healthy lifestyles rather than focusing solely on women with high-risk behaviors.
