The study found that 80.15% of adults in Bangladesh were aware of cervical cancer, with healthcare workers being the primary source of information. Married and urban residents with higher education levels and incomes had the most heightened awareness. Healthcare workers had a 98.91% awareness rate, and regular health checkups increased awareness. Higher education levels predicted greater awareness, while men and unmarried individuals had lower awareness. Higher-income was also positively correlated with higher awareness rates.
