Poor utilization of cervical cancer screening was the prominent problem in<br>\ndeveloping countries. In Ethiopia cervical cancer screening coverage was 0.6%. Low level of knowledge,<br>\nnegative attitude and low intention towards cervical cancer screening were among many obstacles that<br>\nhider the successfulness of cervical cancer screening on which this study aimed.<br>\nObjectives: This study were measure level of knowledge, determine attitude, assess intention to use<br>\ncervical cancer screening and identify correlates of intention among army women of Ethiopia.<br>\nMethods: A cross sectional study design was used to assess knowledge, attitude, intention towards<br>\ncervical cancer screening and its correlates among army women of Ethiopia on April, 2016.

Simple random sampling technique was used to select<br>\nstudy participants. A self administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was entered to<br>\nEPI-info -7 &amp; exported into STATA-12 for analysis. Bi-varate analysis was done to find out crude<br>\nassociation between independent &amp; outcome variable. Finally logistic regression analysis was carried<br>\nout for those variables had association at &lt;0.05 level of significance at bi-variate analysis.</p>",
