Through cervical cancer screening, cervical cancer can be detected early and treated properly. The purpose of this research is to exam the effect of two intervention strategy on elementary school female teachers'' cervical cancer screening intention and behavior in Chung-hwa urban cities. Fifteen elementary schools were selected on purpose, and assigned to teaching group , leaflet group and control group. There were 250 subjects who completed pre-test and post test questionnaire. The questionnaire investigated these subjects'' past behaviors and future intention for cervical cancer screening. Multiple regression and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. The results showed that: 1. The effect of demographic factors on cervical cancer screening intention and behavior were not consistent. Subjects with lower perceived barriers were more likely to participate in cervical cancer screening in the future three years, and were more likely to participate in screening routinely. 1. In past test, the subjects of teaching group had significantly better improvement in knowledge than those of leaflet group and control group. 1. No significant differences were found in cervical cancer screening intention and behavior between teaching group and control group, neither were between leaflet group and control group. 1. No significant difference were found in cervical cancer screening behavior between teaching group and leaflet group. But the subjects of teaching group would be more likely to participate in cervical cancer screening than those of leaflet group in the future three years. Based on the findings of this research , I provide some suggestions for future research and the implementation of cervical cancer screening in Chapter 5.
