abstract: Cervical cancer incidence has been increasing and has becomean emerging threat to women’s health particularly in developing countries. Visual inspection with acetic acid  (VIA)  is  a  cost-effective  screening  method, however its utilizationremains suboptimal. This  study  aimedtoanalyze  the  factors associatedwith women’s participation  in  VIA screening.An  observational  analytic  study  using  a  cross-sectional designwas conducted among 152 women of reproductive age(30-50 years) in the PancoranMas Community Health Center area. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square  test  and  multiple  logistic  regression.  Bivariate  analysis  revealed  that attitudes, health literacy, perceived health belief model components (susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers and self-efficacy), access to health services, support(from husband, families and community health workers) were significantly associated with VIA  testing  (p  <  0.05).  A  multivariate  analysis  identified  three  significant factors: health literacy (OR = 11.203; 95% CI = 3.079-40.763), perceived susceptibility (OR =  3.943;  95%  CI  =  1.090-14.265),  and  perceived  barriers  (OR  =  4.466;  95%  CI = 1.358-14.687).  Health  literacy  is  the  most  dominant  factor associated  withVIA screening behavior. Notably,womenwith  adequate  health  literacy  were  11  times more likelyto  participate  in  screening. Enhancing  screening  participation  can  be achieved by fostering adequate health literacy through optimized health promotion targeting  women  of  reproductive  age.  This  strategy  involves  the  distribution  of educational  media,  such  as  informative  leaflets  and  posters  within  the  community health center area.
