Breast Health Awareness: Understanding Health-Seeking Behavior in Western Kenya

CONCLUSIONS: Successful uptake of CBE through the ABCCCP is the first step to introduce breast health awareness (BHA). Benefits of broad advertisements for health fairs in promoting BHA may be limited to a single event. Poor rates of repeat examinations and diagnostic testing of abnormal CBEs indicate additional resources should be allocated to educating patients, including about possible treatment trajectories for breast cancer.PMID:38044347 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-023-14575-0
