A significant majority of participants were aware of breast cancer, with 87.5% reporting awareness, yet only 44% knew its risk factors and symptoms.
The study found that education, age, and employment status are independent predictors of adequate knowledge about breast cancer, impacting awareness levels.
Using validated questionnaires, data was gathered from 160 women at Bibiani Municipal Hospital, through a cross-sectional study analyzing their knowledge and behaviors.
Despite high awareness, significant gaps exist in understanding risk factors and breast self-examination, highlighting the need for targeted health education.
