BACKGROUND: Globally, Ghana is one of the countries with the greatest cervical cancer (CC) burdens and mortality rates. Available research has focused primarily on women's experiences in the general population neglecting factors that influence cervical cancer screening (CCS) among ethnically diverse populations in Ghana. AIM: This study explored the factors influencing CCS among ethnically diverse women in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana. METHOD: From April to June 2023, a community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in the Aboabo and Asawase communities of the Ashanti Region. Binary and multivariable logistic regressions were employed to determine the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. Outcome variables with RESULTS: Habits, knowledge, perceived benefits, and facilitating factors influenced CCS among ethnically diverse women. An overall self-reported CCS rate of 7.2% ( CONCLUSION: Poor knowledge, lower perceived benefits of CCS, and weak facilitating factors were identified as barriers to CCS. Implementing national CCS and vaccination campaigns to improve awareness, and screening to reduce women's risk is encouraged.
