Community audio towers (CATs) are a communication resource that can be utilized by public health practitioners to enhance health communication in rural and peri-urban settings. However, information on availability of this channel of communication for use in health education and promotion remains scanty. We determined the availability of CATs for use in cervical cancer health education among health workers for prevention of cervical cancer in Kyotera District, Uganda.
