Trained 46 female healthcare providers in breast cancer early detection.
Provided theoretical training on risk factors and clinical breast examinations.
Conducted practical trainings with silicone models and live volunteers under supervision.

Knowledge scores improved from 73.3% to 84.3% post-training (p < .001).
Understanding of risk factors significantly increased: early menarche from 34.1% to 86.4% (p < .001), late menopause from 27.3% to 77.3% (p < .001), and obesity from 50% to 86.4% (p = .002).
