Tobacco use was highest in Bageshwar (7.7%) and Pauri Garhwal (6.4%), whereas alcohol consumption remained low (0.1\u20130.7%). A moderate negative correlation was observed between literacy and screening\u2013 Haridwar showed the uptake despite lower literacy, while more literate districts like Chamoli and Pithoragarh reported lower participation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretations and conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cancer screening uptake among women in Uttarakhand remains low and uneven.
