Description
This community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among Bahir Dar city residents. The dataset had three components; socio-demographic, knowledge about cancer, and cancer preventive-practice-related characteristics. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 845 study participants. Data were collected through a validated interviewer administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted from the American cancer association cancer prevention toolkit. The model fitness was checked using Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit (P > 0.05). Binary logistic regression was used at a 95%CI.
