Description
Sumaira Naz leads a 2026 randomized trial of a culture-based breast health education program for women at high risk of breast cancer. In low-resource settings, breast self-examination is promoted for early symptom awareness, and family support, especially from mothers, shapes women's health choices in Muslim culture. Seventy-two women took part at one hospital over twelve weeks.
The program joined interactive face-to-face sessions with a women's health phone app, built on social cognitive theory and a cultural model. Women in the program improved their self-examination frequency and skill far more than the usual-care group, with large statistical effects. Clinicians can apply the program through family support channels, the authors suggest.
