Effectiveness of health education interventions for cervical cancer screening: A quasi-experimental study in Pokhara Metropolitan Slum, Nepal.

ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer remains a major public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries, including Nepal, particularly among marginalized populations such as women living in slum areas. Despite national screening guidelines and awareness campaigns, uptake of cervical cancer screening remains low. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a community information channel (CIC) and community health worker (CHW)-led interventions on improving the knowledge and utilization of cervical cancer screening among women of slum areas in Pokhara metropolitan, Nepal. A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design was conducted in two purposively selected slum areas. Women aged 30-60 years (n = 310) were recruited and divided into intervention and control groups. T
