Health Belief Model-Based Breast Self-Examination Education in University Students

This study aims to evaluate the effect of Health Belief Model-based breast self-examination education on the precaution adoption process among university students who have never performed breast self-examination. Participants are assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group receives Health Belief Model-based education on breast health and breast self-examination, while the control group does not receive this education during the study period.
