Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample size of 384 females aged 20 years and above from two urban health centres in Selangor to determine the health behaviours among urban women for undergoing Pap smear. Researchers using a set of questionnaires conducted interview. The prevalence of ever undergone Pap smear was 58.1%. Working commitment was a significant barrier to perform Pap smear among the higher household income relative to the lower income group. Non- Malays were more likely to perceive the cost as a barrier. Older women perceived worry due to Pap smear less likely compared to those younger.
