Introduction: Even though a preventable disease, cervical malignancy remains one of the common cancers among women in India. Lack of knowledge, undesirable attitudes and poor practices are culprits for the late detection of cervical cancer. Early screening and adequate knowledge about the disease remains the important safeguards against this disease. Objective: This study determines the level of knowledge, attitude and practice on cervical cancer, screening and vaccination. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out on women aged 18 -65 years of age in the rural population. Participants were interviewed with the predesigned questionnaire. Results: A total of 502 women participated in the study. Maximum were in the age group of 20-40 years i.e 59.56%. 60.75% had heard about cervical cancer, 31.47% had heard about screening for cancer cervix and only 15.1% knew that cervical cancer is preventable. 79.87% agreed in favour of high importance for cervical screening. 96.81% strongly agreed with the plan of free government screening camps. Despite favourable attitude, only 10.35 % were screened for cervical cancer and 0.79% were vaccinated. Conclusion: The study highlights that knowledge was inadequate and screening and vaccination rates were very low in the participants. This highlights the need to educate the community regarding cervical cancer prevention and to make these services readily available at affordable costs to achieve the ultimate goal of elimination of cervical cancer.
