Overview

Cross-sectional survey highlights variations in breast health awareness and BSE practices in different regions.

Key Points

  • Higher awareness of breast self-examination was noted among Indian women, yet adherence to practice remains low.
  • African women showed greater frequency of imaging investigations and oral contraceptive use while experiencing earlier menarche.
  • Malaysian women had more irregular menstrual cycles and reported identifying lumps more frequently during BSE.
  • Socioeconomic status and cultural beliefs significantly influenced breast health behaviors and awareness in these populations.
