Popis: Cervical cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in women worldwide that is mostly preventable and treatable. Knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer screening programs allow the implementation of the prevention of cervical cancer. The community service program is aimed to increase the knowledge of adolescents about cervical cancer and its screening. It was a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study to measure the level of knowledge of 45 female students of Baabul Kamil Vocational High School, Jatinangor, Sumedang. The study was conducted in May–June 2018. The participants were asked 15 questions, which was an adaptation of previous questionnaires. The program was managed by a mini-lecture that focuses on cervical cancer risk factors and early detection. Furthermore, pretest and posttest were conducted to analyze the level of knowledge on the aforementioned aspects before and after the dissemination descriptively. The participants included in this study were mostly 16 years old (67%). The average recognition of cervical cancer and its early detection was not high. The knowledge of cervical cancer among students of Baabul Kamil Vocational High School was found to be moderate. There is a significant improvement in knowledge level after dissemination. The efficacy of dissemination among female students at Baabul Kamil Vocational High School was apparent in knowledge change. However, good cancer awareness, especially cervical cancer, needs to be established and integrated through effective cancer educational programs in the school curriculum. Key intervention strategies are required to raise cancer awareness in support of taking precautions and early detection measures.
