Discussion

Multivariate analysis indicates significant rural-urban disparities in screening uptake among women, highlighting key predictors' implications.

Cervical cancer screening uptake is significantly lower among rural women compared to urban women, with urban uptake at 9.66%.
Approximately 92% of the rural-urban screening disparity is due to differences in education, wealth, and media exposure.
A multivariate non-linear decomposition analysis identified key predictors for screening uptake in both rural and urban settings.
Targeted interventions like mobile units and community education are crucial to improving access and uptake across different populations.

Tsekpetse et al. (2025) studied this question.
