Almost 70% of the global burden failed in developing counties. In Ethiopia cervical cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer mortality. Cervical cancer screening is effective prevention method can avert >80% morbidity and mortality. However, globally a billion of women missed this opportunity. Poor utilization of cervical cancer screening was the prominent problem in developing countries. In Ethiopia cervical cancer screening coverage was 0.6%. Low level of knowledge, negative attitude and low intention towards cervical cancer screening were among many obstacles that hider the successfulness of cervical cancer screening on which this study aimed. Objectives: This study were measure level of knowledge, determine attitude, assess intention to use cervical cancer screening and identify correlates of intention among army women of Ethiopia. Methods: A cross sectional study design was used to assess knowledge, attitude, intention towards cervical cancer screening and its correlates among army women of Ethiopia on April, 2016. Twenty one posts were included in this study. Single population proportion formula was used to determine the sample size & a total of 423 samples were taken. Simple random sampling technique was used to select study participants. A self administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was entered to EPI-info -7 & exported into STATA-12 for analysis. Bi-varate analysis was done to find out crude association between independent & outcome variable. Finally logistic regression analysis was carried out for those variables had association at <0.05 level of significance at bi-variate analysis.</dc:description> <dc:identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/1959</dc:identifier> <dc:identifier>10.20372/nadre:1959</dc:identifier> <dc:identifier>oai:zenodo.org:1959</dc:identifier> <dc:relation>doi:10.20372/nadre:1958</dc:relation> <dc:relation>url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/aau</dc:relation> <dc:relation>url:https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/communities/zenodo</dc:relation> <dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights> <dc:rights>http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by</dc:rights> <dc:title>THE ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND INTENTION TO USE CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING AND ITS COLLERATES AMONG ARMY WOMEN IN ETHIOPIA</dc:title> <dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis</dc:type> <dc:type>publication-thesis</dc:type> </oai_dc:dc>
