This study examines the effectiveness of approaches to raise cervical cancer awareness among women of reproductive age in Chainda compound, Lusaka, Zambia. This study aims to establish the level of awareness and knowledge about cervical cancer among women of reproductive age in high-density areas, to examine the effectiveness of existing approaches in raising cervical cancer awareness and to identify challenges to cervical cancer awareness and sensitization among women of reproductive age in Chainda Compound. Methodologically, the research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. It integrates surveys, interviews with structured questionnaires, and field observations to gather diverse insights from residents, community leaders, and stakeholders. This comprehensive methodology ensures effective cancer awareness approaches. Mmajority of respondents (about 85%) reported having heard about cervical cancer, which indicates a relatively high level of initial awareness within this population. When asked about which aspects of the programs they found most effective, respondents cited “clear and understandable information,” (70.00%) “Interactive sessions,” (45.00%) and “access to screening services” (62.50%) as the top features. These responses highlight the importance of delivering information in a way that is accessible and relatable, which is critical for increasing health literacy. 50.00% indicated that a lack of information was one of the primary challenges to accessing cervical cancer awareness. Cultural beliefs and stigma (42.90%) were also frequently cited as barriers to cervical cancer awareness. Limited access to healthcare services (40.00%) was another notable challenge identified in the study. Low literacy levels (28.60%) were also noted as a barrier, suggesting that even when information is available, it may not be presented in a way that is easily understood by all members of the community. Financial constraints (25.70%) were another significant challenge, indicating that cost remains a barrier not only to cervical cancer treatment but also to preventive measures, including screenings and education. Some respondents cited a lack of support from family and the community (21.40%) as a barrier. Based on the findings, the study recommends the following: enhanced information dissemination; promotion of culturally sensitive education; improved access to screening services; providing financial support and subsidies; increased community awareness and engagement; encouraging routine education in schools; and conducting further research.
