<![CDATA[Among female malignancies, cervical cancer is common. One easy and cheap way to find things early is to use acetic acid to look for them visually (VIA). Screening for VIA was conducted on just 1.31 percent of patients at Bengkulu City's Jembatan Kecil Community Health Center. Thus, it is essential to understand the elements influencing WRA participation in VIA screening. This study aimed to examine the relationship between VIA screening and demographic variables among WRA who visited the Jembatan Kecil Community Health Center, including age, education level, parity, and knowledge. The method employed was quantitative and based on a cross-sectional research design. Out of 4,815 WRA, 98 were chosen using a purposive sampling technique. Multiple logistic regression, univariate analysis, and the Fisher-Freeman-Halton Exact Test were used to examine the data. In a survey with 98 participants, 88% said they had never taken a VIA Test before. Although there was no correlation between parity and the VIA exam, there were significant connections with age (p=0.018), knowledge (p=0.002), and education (p=0.033). In a multivariate analysis, knowledge was the most significant variable (p=0.004; Exp(B)=4.066). To increase participation in VIA screenings, the health center should increase its outreach, promotion, and education programs.]]>
