Introduction: Cervical cancer, according to the World Health Organization, ranks fourth among those that most affect women, with an approximate incidence of 604,000 cases in 2020. Among the 342,000 deaths estimated by that cause in 2020, more than 90% occurred in low and middle-income countries. Precisely, at the national and local level it is pointed out that a low culture of prevention prevails in the population, so it could be assumed that the improvement in the level of knowledge would be related to a greater practice of preventive measures in this regard.
