Abstract

The uptake of mammograms among women in Terengganu is alarmingly low and mirrors national trends. Women who possess higher education and are older were more likely to participate in mammography, proving the critical role of health literacy in screening behaviour. Addressing access and awareness are vital challenges in areas where mammogram services are limited. Implementing targeted educational initiatives and enhancing healthcare access, particularly in rural settings is crucial for improving breast cancer screening rates.
