Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with an estimate of 570,000 new cases and about 311,000 deaths annually. Low-resource countries, including those in sub-Saharan Africa, have the highest-burden with an estimate of 84% of all cervical cancers. This study examines the prevalence and socio-demographic-economic factors associated with cervical cancer screening in sub-Saharan Africa. A weighted population-based cross-sectional study using Demographic and Health Surveys data. We used available data on cervical cancer screening between 2011 and 2018 from the Demographic and Health Surveys for five sub-Saharan African countries (Benin, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Namibia, and Zimbabwe). The study population included women of childbearing age, 21–49 years (n=28,976). We fit a multivariable Poisson regression model to identify independent factors associated with cervical cancer screening. The overall weighted prevalence of cervical cancer screening was 19.0% (95% CI: 18.5%−19.5%) ranging from 0.7% in Benin to 45.9% in Namibia. Independent determinants of cervical cancer screening were: older age (40–49 years) adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR)=1.77 (95% CI: 1.64, 1.90) compared with younger age (21–29 years), secondary/higher education (aPR= 1.51, 95 CI: 1.28–1.79) compared with no education, health insurance (aPR= 1.53, 95% CI: 1.44–1.61) compared with no insurance, and highest socioeconomic status (aPR= 1.39, 95% CI: 1.26–1.52) compared with lowest. The prevalence of cervical cancer screening is substantially low in sub-Saharan Africa countries and shows a high degree of between-country variation. Interventions aimed at increasing the uptake of cervical cancer screening in sub-Saharan Africa are critically needed.
