Breast self-examination and associated factors among women in Wolaita Sodo, Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study.

In our sample, women's practice of BSE was relatively low. Knowledge of BSE, breastfeeding up to 24 months, being employed, and being a student were factors affecting performing BSE. Educating girls and increasing awareness, including through electronic media, are important to encourage BSE and improve breast cancer outcomes.
