Study Overview
Brief Summary
The findings of the study will help in improving awareness among women concerning breast cancer and its screening.

This will further aid in providing adequate information and plan interventions for early detection of the danger signs by women themselves hence reducing the mortality and morbidity rates. The findings will further contribute in planning effective strategies aimed at minimizing the perceived barriers towards breast cancer screening and thus enhancing the preventive and screening behaviours and improving overall women health.
