Cervical cancer is the most common

It is increasingly becoming the leading carcinoma
seen among women in the developing
world. The aim of our study was to
showcase the effect of educational intervention
on the knowledge of cervical cancer
and subsequently the uptake of Pap smear
test amongst market women in Niger state,
Nigeria. The state has a rich network of
markets in all the local government areas
because of the fishing activities, bountiful
agricultural produce yearly and its situation
to the North of the national capital, Abuja.
This was a quasi-experimental study conducted
in two groups with pre and post

used for data entry, editing and analysis.
