Summary

This study tested a program designed to reduce stigma around cervical cancer and increase screening among women in Nepal. Researchers enrolled 310 married women aged 30-60 from one municipality. The program included educational videos and group discussions. The goal was to see if it lowered stigma scores and led more women to get screened.
