Their attitude towards BSE was positive (51.3%) and there was a significant relationship between their KNOWLEDGE and attitude. 18% of the subjects PRACTICEd BSE at least once, and their overall PRACTICE was in a weak level (46.7%).Conclusions: Qualitative researches could be recommended to recognize the factors effective in the improvement of acceptance of BREAST CANCER screening methods among women.
