Schools are fundamental settings for health education and adolescent females are an
important group for promoting positive breast habits. We surveyed 2089 schoolgirls (11-18
years) to provide evidence for, and guidance on, breast education for schoolgirls. 26%
reported negative feelings about their breasts and 87% reported ≥ one breast concern. 72%
wanted to know more about breast cancer (69% rating this extremely important). >50%
wanted to know more about breast sag and breast pain. Preferred delivery format was age
eleven (50%), girls only taught sessions (41%) with female teachers (43%). A need for
breast education and delivery preferences was identified.
