The participants included 142 women who participated in the awareness walk. Among these women, 17 were in their teens (12.0%), 47 were in their twenties (33.1%), 15 were in their thirties (10.6%), 31 were in their forties (21.7%), 14 were in their fifties (9.9%), and 18 were over 60 years old (12.7%). A survey was conducted that included questions pertaining to the purpose of participation in the awareness walk and behavior, knowledge and attitude associated with screening and prevention of cervical cancer. Chi-square test showed a significant relationship between age and cervical cancer screening behavior. The rate of cervical cancer screening in participants over 30 years was high (>50%), but the rate of participants in their teens and twenties was low (13%). There was a similar tendency for the relationship between age and past experience of participation in cervical cancer screening events. Of the participants, there were a few people who had been inoculated by the HPV vaccination in all age groups. Women who participated in the cervical cancer awareness walk and who knew about prevention of cervical cancer and were interested in prevention of cervical cancer comprised 27% and 51%, respectively, and the rates in young women aged in their teens and twenties were higher than those in middle-aged and older women. Furthermore, there was a high percentage (95%) of young women who wanted to receive vaccinations and screening for cervical cancer after participating in the cervical cancer awareness walk. These findings suggest that an event for promoting cancer screening though sports activity is positively related to knowledge and attitude regarding cervical cancer.}, pages = {47--57}, title = {スポーツ参加型子宮頸がん検診推進事業への参加とがん検診・予防への知識、態度の関連}, volume = {22}, year = {2012} }
