Notes: Columns are in mean values (standard deviations) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables. Missing values are not included in count data. Cervical cancer knowledge was assessed using a True/False, multiple choice instrument for a maximum score of 15. The cervical cancer screening self-efficacy scale has 10 items scored on a 5-item Likert-type scale for a maximum score of 50.
