    This study identified key predictors for attending breast self-examination classes, finding that health belief dimensions are significant. Modifications to the health belief model are suggested based on these findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Education
    • Preventive Medicine
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Breast self-examination (BSE) is a crucial component of early breast cancer detection.
    • Understanding factors influencing participation in BSE education is vital for public health initiatives.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify variables predicting attendance at a breast self-examination class.
    • To evaluate the utility of the health belief model in predicting BSE class attendance.

    Main Methods:

    • The study employed the health belief model as a framework.
    • Predictor variables for class attendance were examined.

    Main Results:

    • Specific health belief dimensions emerged as strong predictors of attendance.
