description The study determined awareness, use and the main source of information about preventive health examinations among 387 childbearing women attending three health facilities in Uyo, Nigeria. Respondents were consenting women aged 15-49 years who had a live birth in the two months preceding the survey. Respondents were interviewed using structured questionnaires during child welfare clinic visits at each facility. Awareness about pap smears and breast self examination was 14.2% and 35.3% respectively. Testing rates were highest for blood pressure checks, HIV and blood sugar and lowest for Pap smears and mammograms. Health workers were the main informants on preventive tests. Awareness and secondary education enhanced women's uptake of screening services across levels of health care. Secondary education as a minimum and intensified awareness creation about preventive health examinations through media, school based programs, durbars and public health campaigns are vital to the health and well being of women and children. L'étude a déterminé la sensibilisation, l'utilisation et la principale source d'informations sur les examens médicaux préventifs chez 387 femmes en âge de procréer qui fréquentent trois établissements de santé à Uyo, Nigéria. Les interviewées étaient des femmes consentants, âgées de 15-49 ans qui ont eu une naissance vivante au cours des deux mois précédant l'enquête. Les interviewées ont été interrogées à l'aide de questionnaires structurés lors des visites aux cliniques adaptées au bien-être de l'enfant dans chaque établissement. La sensibilisation sur les frottis vaginaux et l'autopalpation du sein était de 14,2% et 35,3% respectivement. Les taux de dépistage étaient plus élevés pour les contrôles de la tension artérielle, le VIH et le sucre sanguin plus faible concernant le test de Papanicolaou et la mammographie. Le personnel sanitaire ont été les principaux informateurs sur les essais de prévention. La sensibilisation et l'éducation secondaire ont amélioré l'adoption des services de dépistage à tous les niveaux des soins sanitaires. L'enseignement secondaire comme un niveau minimum ainsi que la création de la sensibilisation intensifiée par rapport à des examens médicaux préventifs à travers les médias, les programmes scolaires, les durbars et les campagnes de santé publique, sont essentiels à la santé et au bien-être des femmes et des enfants
