Background:
Train the Trainer (TTT) Breast Health and Breast Cancer Education program was a workshop for nurses to improve knowledge about breast health and breast cancer.
Methods:
The TTT approach used several teaching-learning strategies. A total of 3 programs were held biannually since 2000; 32 nurses represented 20 international countries.
Results:
In 2000, participants represented developed countries. In 2002 and 2004, participants represented limited resource nations in Africa, Asia, and South America. Formative and summative evaluations using e-mail survey showed that over 1400 patients and families and over 900 nurses and doctors were reached.
Conclusions:
Findings support viability of international breast health and/or breast cancer education programs.
