- W2921825300 abstract "<strong>Background:</strong> Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide with incidence increasing rapidly in developing countries. Poor utilization of preventive healthcare services contributes to this high burden. <strong>Objective:</strong> To assess the knowledge and utilization of preventive healthcare services among women in Lagos, Nigeria. <strong>Methods:</strong> This was a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out at Mainland Local Government Area (LGA) between May and July 2014. Respondents were selected using the multistage sampling method. A pretested, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information. Data were analyzed using Epi info software version 7. Summary and inferential statistics were done and the level of significance was set at <5% (p < 0.05). <strong>Findings:</strong> Awareness of specified NCDs among the 322 respondents was 82.61% and of preventive healthcare services for the NCDs was 65.22%. Virtually all (99.05%) of the respondents had poor knowledge of these preventive services. Utilization rates were equally poor. Most common screening/tests done were Blood Pressure measurement (78.18%), Self breast examination (69.96%) and blood sugar test (58.33%). Much lower utilization rates were recorded for lipid profile (37.57%), Pap smear (26.11%), Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) (19.72%), Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) immunization (16.55%) and mammography (14.72%). <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Respondents were aware of specified NCDs and preventive healthcare services. They considered routine medical check-up important, however they had poor knowledge of the preventive health services for NCDs and hardly utilized them. Women should be given detailed information on the preventive healthcare services to improve their knowledge and utilization so as to reduce the NCD burden." @default.
