First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a breast cancer education program could improve knowledge and awareness among 40 incarcerated women in Turkey. Participants completed surveys before and after group training sessions, with a reminder session one month later. The goal was to see if education could help this underserved group better understand symptoms, risk, and self-exams.
