Understanding Cervical Cancer Screening Intentions Through the Lens of Care‐Seeking Behavior: A Cross‐Sectional Study Among Islamic Women in Ghana

Level of religiosity, availability of screening services, knowledge of cervical cancer, personal and cultural norms, negative emotions associated with the cervical screening process, and negative feelings about the potential for a positive cervical cancer diagnosis determined Islamic women's cervical cancer screening intentions. Implementing national cervical cancer education campaigns focused on addressing the cervical cancer disease misconceptions, negative emotions about the cervical cancer screening process and outcomes, as well as training providers on culturally competent screening practices, are encouraged.
