Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows low breast cancer screening in young women in Tanzania, indicating socio-demographic and health system influences.

Key Points

  • Breast cancer screening was uncommon among young women in Tanzania at only 3.39%.
  • Increased odds of screening were linked to higher education and awareness of HIV status.
  • Logistic regression identified several factors influencing screening uptake, including marital status and health insurance.
  • Interventions should target education and outreach in regions with lower screening rates to improve early detection.
