A purposive sampling method was employed for the sampling technique. Data were analyzed using frequency tables and Pearson’s correlation. The result, showed a significant relationship between the level of education awareness cervical cancer, while there is no significant relationship between the knowledge of cervical cancer screening and practice of cervical cancer screening (Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level).
