How BCI studies the impact of breast-cancer education in Ghana — and the international institutions it works with to push the evidence forward.
Research activities
BCI is involved in several research activities, including:
- Study · KAPs
Small-area analysis on the effect of sociocultural factors on knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAPs) toward early detection of breast cancer among women who have received breast cancer education in Ghana
- Study · Rural Ghana
Evaluation of the impact of a breast cancer awareness program in rural Ghana: a cross-sectional survey
A study published in the International Journal of Cancer evaluating the impact of a breast cancer awareness program in Ghana indicated that progress has been made in recent years in improving knowledge, attitudes and practices towards breast cancer among women exposed to BCI programs.
BCI continues to explore ways to enhance service delivery, improve health outcomes and increase timely access to quality healthcare in Ghana.
