Abstract

Despite high awareness of breast cancer, knowledge of its risk factors and the signs and symptoms was lacking, with over half unaware of breast self-examination (BSE). Health education campaigns by women-friendly organizations are crucial to improving awareness of symptoms, risk factors, and BSE in the Bibiani municipality.
