Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week program using Instagram posts and podcast episodes can improve breast cancer awareness and screening habits in women aged 20 to 39. Participants follow a dedicated Instagram account and listen to podcast content designed to educate about symptoms, self-exams, and screening. The goal is to see if social media can be a practical tool for health education in a younger population.

Active substance: Instagram- and podcast-based educational content
What this could lead to: If effective, this approach could offer a low-cost, scalable way to increase breast cancer awareness and screening among young women.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study focused on awareness, not disease outcomes. Results may not apply to other populations or guarantee changes in actual screening behavior.
