Do You Know How To Check Your Breasts For Lumps? Take Charge of Your Breast Health!
In the United States, one in eight women will develop breast cancer by age 75 years. Getting to know your breasts is crucial to catching breast cancer early. Major cancer centers recommend women start performing regular Breast-Self-Exams (BSEs) in their early 20s. That is one of the reasons why I wanted to have an episode dedicated to promote self efficacy and encourage women and people with breasts to perform this behavior as part of their routines.
In this episode, I spoke with Dani and Deanna who are part of a group of graduate public health students at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health enrolled in a health communications course. As part of the course Dani and Deanna along with three other group members Alex, Sofia, and Gabi, carried out a campaign teaching women about the importance of early breast cancer screening and teaching them how to perform breast self exams.
You will learn: 1) Why you should check your breasts 2) how to check your own breasts, 3) how to make it part of your routine!
