Clinical breast cancer screening uptake and associated factors among reproductive age women in Kenya: further analysis of Kenyan Demographic and Health Survey 2022
In this study, the prevalence of CBCSU among reproductive-age women in Kenya was found to be low. Besides, factors such as age, educational status, wealth index, family planning utilization, and community media exposure were identified as significant contributors to screening uptake. Therefore, policymakers and stakeholders should design interventions that address factors contributing to low breast cancer screening uptake, particularly targeting women in areas with limited media exposure, to increase the uptake of clinical breast cancer screening.
