Core Tip
Core Tip: The research explores how breast disease heredity affects knowledge and behaviors towards breast cancer prevention along with attitude development among Ethiopian women of reproductive age in Northeast Ethiopia. The research findings show that women with breast disease history in their families demonstrate superior knowledge and more positive behavior patterns alongside basic preventive measures than those without this history. The study established that academic level along with salary status and area-wide medical insurance coverage act as significant variables which shape these findings. Prevention programs along with targeted policy measures need to be developed specifically for low-resource areas because they enhance breast cancer prevention measures.
