Clinical breast examination and its associated factors among reproductive age women in Ghana: multilevel logistic regression analysis
The study revealed that the magnitude of clinical breast examination among Ghanaian women was low. Age, educational status, modern contraceptives utilization, health insurance coverage, media exposure, HIV testing, cervical cancer screening, occupation, health facility visits, wealth index, and region were significantly associated with clinical breast examination. These findings suggest that public health interventions should prioritize addressing these factors to increase clinical breast examination uptake and promote early detection of breast cancer to improve the survival of women with breast cancer.
