Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Cervical cancer is a public health problem. Objective: To determine the level of knowledge about prevention and risk factors for cervical cancer in women of a technical institute in the city of Cali, Colombia. Methods: Cross-sectional study with the participation of 131 women enrolled in any of the academic programs of the educational institution, to whom a structured survey was applied. Results: The general average of positive answers was 51.7%. The correct knowledge on prevention was calculated in 86.1%, while the knowledge of risk factors was estimated in 34.6%. Conclusions: We found a high level of knowledge regarding cytology and the vaccine against human papillomavirus in questions of preventive methods, but the knowledge on risk factors for the development of cervical cancer was low. These deficiencies could be related to low socioeconomic and academic levels in the population studied.
