Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, with nearly 90% of new cases and related deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to cervical cancer prevention among female students in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Benin, Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was utilized, and 315 participants were selected through a proportionate stratified random sampling approach.Findings showed that the respondents possessed a moderate level of knowledge about cervical cancer, particularly regarding its definition, modes of prevention, and transmission. Although attitudes toward screening and preventive measures were largely positive, many students reported not engaging in any form of preventive practice. The study also established a statistically significant association between students’ knowledge levels and their preventive practices (χ² = 31.17, p < 0.0001).Overall, the results underscore the need for focused educational strategies aimed at improving young women's awareness, attitudes, and engagement in cervical cancer prevention activities.
