Abstract
The effectiveness of a theoretically based educational strategy was compared with a standard breast self-examination educational strategy. It was found that women in the experimental treatment group (n = 68) were significantly (p = .029) more likely to perform breast self-examination appropriately 3 months following instruction than women in the standard treatment comparison group (n = 66) after controlling for pretest scores and age.Keywords
