Cervical Cancer Risk Assessment questionnaire survey takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
Note: This tool was designed to assess the cervical cancer risk in females who have not undergone a total hysterectomy (a surgical procedure that completely removes the cervix) only.

30 to 65 years old

3. How many sexual partners do you have?

More Information

(Having many sexual partners is linked with a higher risk of cervical cancer as this can increase the exposure to human papilloma virus (HPV), which is transmitted by sexual contact.)

None

One

More than one

4. How many times have you given birth?

More Information

(The risk of developing cervical cancer is higher among women who have given birth to three or more children as women who have multiple babies may be more sexually active and therefore more exposed to human papilloma virus (HPV).)

I have never given birth

Less than 3 times

3 times or more

5. Have you ever been diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases (STD)?

More Information

(Women who had been diagnosed with sexually transmitted disease (STD) such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, or herpes have a higher risk of also having a human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and therefore developing cervical cancer.)

Yes

6. Have you ever received vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV)?

More Information

(Cervical cancer rates were shown to have reduced by 62% in women who had received vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV) between the ages of 14-16, and 34% in women aged of 16-18.)

Yes

7. How frequent do you go for a pap smear test?

More Information

(Pap smear involves collecting cells from your cervix to detect early cervical cancer which provides a greater chance to cure the disease.)

Yearly

Every 2 – 3 years

Every 4 – 5 years

I have never had a pap smear test

8. How long have you been using oral contraceptives?

More Information

(Women who have used oral contraceptives for 5 or more years have a higher risk of cervical cancer than women who have never used oral contraceptives.)

I have never used any oral contraceptives

Less than 5 years

5 years or more

9. Do you smoke cigarette/cigar/pipe/e-cigarette?

More Information

(Smoking weakens the immune system against human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV can cause genital warts, precancers, and cancer of the cervix and genital area.)

Yes

10. What is your weight status based on body mass index (BMI)?
BMI = weight (kg) / height2 (m2)

More Information

(Obese women had a lower chance of precancer detection and a higher risk of cervical cancer compared with women who had a normal BMI.)

Underweight (BMI: < 18.5)

Normal weight (BMI: 18.5 and 24.9)

Overweight (BMI: 25 and 29.9)

Obese (BMI: > 29.9)

11. Have your biological mother, sister(s), or daughter(s) been diagnosed with cervical cancer?

More Information

(You have an increased risk of cervical cancer if your biological first-degree relative (mother, sister or daughter) has had cervical cancer.)

Yes
