Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This randomized study compared three ways of delivering standardized digital education about breast cancer and early detection among adult women. Participants were assigned to education through a private social media account, a dedicated website, an electronic brochure delivered through WhatsApp, or a control group. The study assessed whether the educational formats changed breast cancer screening beliefs and prevention behaviors after 12 weeks.
