Abstract
Higher education level of participants, urban type of settlement, and a positive general attitude towards
mammography significantly explain better awareness among women. Informed, more educated women
who have previously undergone mammography have a positive attitude towards future participation.
Women's awareness represents a significant area for implementing interventions aimed at improving
Program performance.
