About this study

This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the impact of educational interventions on HPV awareness, knowledge levels, and concerns among women. The research is being carried out at a Family Health Center in the Black Sea Region between January and April 2025. A total of 103 women have been selected through randomizer.org and assigned to either the intervention group (n=50) or control group (n=53).

Participants are initially assessed using a Personal Information Form, the HPV Knowledge Scale, and the HPV Awareness and Concern Scale. The intervention group receives structured education on HPV and cervical cancer prevention delivered by midwives and healthcare professionals. Post-tests are planned to assess potential changes in the measured variables. The study emphasizes the importance of healthcare-based education in improving public awareness and preventive health behaviors.
