Pictures over words: visual training may help illiterate women spot breast cancer early

This study tests whether teaching breast self-examination using pictures, models, and hands-on demonstrations can increase breast cancer awareness and health motivation in illiterate women aged 15-49 living in rural Turkey. Participants receive face-to-face visual education and are assessed before and after the program. The goal is to see if this approach helps women recognize symptoms and perform self-exams, potentially leading to earlier detection in a group with limited access to health information.
