“…Studies have shown poor knowledge about cervical cancer (Audu et al, 1999;Feyi-Waboso et al, 2005;Ayinde et al, 2006), and poor acceptance and underutilization of the screening test (Ayinde et al, 2004;Ezem, 2007;Wright et al, 2011;Hyacinth et al, 2012). A study done by Wright et al (2011) in Lagos showed that only 14.9% of a group of market women had heard of cervical cancer while another study among female health workers in Ilorin showed that only 0.3% of the respondents had ever been screened (Aboyeji et al, 2005;Wright et al, 2011).…”
