Abstract Cervical cancer is mainly caused due to infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and most people are infected with HPV shortly after the onset of sexual activity. Lack of cervical cancer screening, poor knowledge about the disease and its prevention including the HPV vaccination, are some of the key factors resulting in increase of cervical cancer among women. Promoting awareness and knowledge regarding cervical cancer among females will serve as a proactive step towards prevention and their overall wellbeing, while also contributing to broader public health groups, creating a foundation for a healthier and more informed community. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of health information package on knowledge regarding cervical cancer among female students studying in a selected degree college of Lucknow, U.P. Pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test research design was used to conduct the study at City Women’s College, Jankipuram, Lucknow, (U.P). Purposive sampling technique was used to select 50 female students in the age group of 18-25 years. The data was collected using self-structured knowledge questionnaire. The Health Information Package was administered to enhance their knowledge regarding cervical cancer. Statistical analysis of the study was done using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed that the overall mean and SD of pre-test knowledge score was 13.14 and 3.30 and the post-test knowledge score was 19.96 and 2.94. The obtained t-value=16.291 is highly significant; where p<0.05. There was no significant association between the selected demographic variables and the pre-test knowledge score of female students. The present study underscores the significance of Health Information Package in enhancing knowledge about cervical cancer among female students. The effectiveness of the Health Information Package highlights its potential as a valuable educational tool for improving knowledge regarding cervical cancer and fostering a culture of health among females.
