Abstract

Objective: The success of any cancer screening policy is known to be closely related to the population's participation in screening programs and baseline knowledge about cancer and the screening program. We investigated popular awareness, knowledge and attitudes towards cervical cancer, HPV and the screening program after HPV-based screening began in Turkey.
