    High school students learned breast self-examination (BSE) techniques. The program was well-received, showing student interest, acceptance, and sustained compliance one year later.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Public Health Education

    Background:

    • Early detection of breast cancer is crucial for improved patient outcomes.
    • Breast self-examination (BSE) is a recognized method for identifying potential abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a BSE education program for high school students.
    • To evaluate student interest, program acceptability, and long-term compliance with BSE practices.

    Main Methods:

    • High school students received instruction on the importance and methodology of BSE.
    • Questionnaires were utilized to gather data on student engagement and adherence.
    • Program outcomes were assessed through participant feedback and follow-up evaluations.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Students demonstrated a positive attitude towards learning BSE.
    • The educational program was found to be acceptable to the student population.
    • A notable level of compliance with BSE practices was observed at the one-year follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • BSE education is a viable and acceptable intervention for high school students.
    • Implementing BSE programs in schools can foster early detection habits.
    • Adolescent engagement in BSE can lead to sustained practice and potential health benefits.
