Description A total of 384 females aged 20 years and above from two urban health centres in Selangor were recruited to determine the cervical cancer screening behaviours.Researchers used a set of questionnaires to collect data. The prevalence of ever undergone Pap smear was 58.1%.Working commitment was a significant barrier to performing Pap smear among non-performers with higher educational level relative to those with lower educational level. Non- Malays were four times more likely to perceive cost as a barrier. Older women perceivedworry due to Pap smear less likely compared to those younger.Keywords: urban;cervicalcancer;screening;barriers.2398-4295 © 2017 The Authors.
