The obtained data was analyzed by means of SPSS software using chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests atr the significant level P=0.05.Results: Out of 400 participants, 307 (76.8%) had Bachelor degrees and 386 (96.5%) were married. Mean age of the teachers was 38.22±6.48 years. Only 127 (31.8%) used to do regular BREAST SELF-EXAMINATIONs (BSE). Mean score of knowledge about breast cancer, BSE, risk factors, and symptoms was 2.10±0.67, 1.10±0.77, 8.05±3.34, and 6.80±2.73, respectively. There was no significant difference with respect to age, marital status, and history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives and acquaintances. Mean knowledge score of cancer and its risk factors was higher in women with higher education (P=0.01, P=0.007, respectively). Mean score of perceived susceptibility, severity, perceived benefits and barriers was 12.74, 6.31, 39.68, and 20.78, respectively.
