Breast Cancer Awareness, Screening Practices, and Perceived Barriers Among Female Undergraduate Students: An Institution‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study
Though better awareness about breast cancer and its screening was found among the students, low practices were observed in screening. Students of the science and engineering faculty demonstrated a sufficient level of breast cancer awareness than students from other faculties, and students with good screening practice habits of breast cancer were sufficiently aware of breast cancer than poorly practicing students. Still, warning signs of breast cancer are unfamiliar to female students among university students. Frequent awareness campaigns are essential to train the students at regular intervals.
