Overview

Quasi-experimental study demonstrates improved breast cancer symptom and risk awareness in adolescent girls, highlighting the value of early health belief education.

Key Points

  • To assess the effect of a Health Belief Model–based educational intervention on breast cancer knowledge, risk factor recognition, and symptom awareness in adolescent girls.
  • Quasi-experimental single-group pretest-posttest study conducted with N=79 female high school adolescents (mean age: 16.0 ± 0.96 years).
  • Intervention delivered across four 60-minute teaching sessions, evaluated using the Participants Information Form and Breast Cancer Awareness Evaluation Form via paired t-tests and Chi-Square tests.
  • Correct answer rates regarding 12 breast cancer risk factors increased from <50% before the program to ≥81.0% following the intervention.
  • Baseline correct response rates for breast cancer symptoms ranged from ≥38.0% pre-test and rose to 79.7% post-test, demonstrating statistically significant improvements across all assessed symptoms (P<0.05).
