The objective of this review is to examine the efficacy of educational approaches in increasing women's adoption of cervical screening. A search was conducted through PubMed, Medline and Google Scholar. Articles that met the eligibility criteria were reviewed. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guided the data synthesis and reporting. We conducted a qualitative synthesis of evidence and pooled individual research results in meta-analyses using RevMan 5.3 review manager, where applicable. Heterogeneity has been estimated for total summary results of studies pooled together. Quality analysis of the papers was done using JADAD scale. This meta-analysis included a total of nine articles (n=2316). Statistical research findings indicate that the use of cervical cancer educational approaches substantially improved cervical cancer screening rates and screening acceptability by double folds 2.88. The results of this study support the use of educational intervention for cervical cancer to increase the acceptance of cervical cancer screening by women. We also recommend more research to assess the efficacy of various teaching approaches and the effect of intervention length on the rise in women's cervical cancer screening services utilization.

To analyze the transmission of hepatitis C available studies differentiate state/province from the Indian region. In this review it has been described that there is strong association among the factors responsible for hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission and community-based complex intervention within public health. Total 25 most relevant articles included in this review for Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Odisha, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, and Gujarat. This systematic review followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The general concepts and topics covered by PRISMA are all relevant to any systematic review. All articles published before September 2020 that the electronic databases used in this search needed to draw content from the fields of tropical medicine, infectious disease, gastroenterology, sexually transmitted disease, communicable disease, family medicine physicians, public health and hepatology The respondent population was 104776 categorised into five major groups; general population, underprivileged population, associated risk patient, risk behavior group. We investigated an effective cluster, and random population from various locations, prevalence in community groups. Recommendation of this review is to develop a standardized public health structure between primary health-care providers in rural and urban populations, prevent infected blood transmission and proper screening of high-risk groups.
