Individual-level and community-level factors associated with breast cancer screening among women of reproductive age in Tanzania: a multilevel analysis of the 2022 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey

The study highlights a critical need for enhanced efforts in breast cancer screening among women of reproductive age in Tanzania, where current participation rates remain disconcertingly low. The multifactorial nature of screening behaviours, influenced by age, education, employment status and socioeconomic conditions, underscores the complexity of addressing this public health challenge. Implementing targeted educational programmes, improving healthcare access and leveraging community resources can increase awareness and utilisation of screening services.
