About this trial
This study aims to implement two interventions to determine the most effective one that can improve Ghanaian women's decision to get their breasts examined by a healthcare professional. The two interventions are (1) a system where community health nurses will be leveraged to educate women on breast cancer screening; (2) a system where women will be sent text messages about breast cancer screening. Both interventions will be carried out over five months. A survey will be conducted before the intervention is introduced. Then, after the sixth month, another survey will be implemented to determine whether there have been changes. Only women who are 25 years or older will be included in the study.
