BILDUNG & AUFKLÄRUNG

Aufklärungsleitfaden zur Brustgesundheit

A user-friendly educational tool utilized in communities across the U.S. and around the world to reach young women with information about breast health and breast cancer.

Die Prevent Cancer Foundation Breast Health Education for Young Women Facilitator’s Guide is designed to increase young women’s knowledge about breast health. Updated in 2020, this user-friendly educational tool has been utilized in communities across the U.S. and around the world to reach young women with information about breast health and breast cancer. The guide was developed in conjunction with Howard University Cancer Center for use in interactive group sessions—whether in person or virtual—and to encourage information sharing with female relatives who are age-appropriate for screening.

While the guide was originally written for young cisgender women, it contains important breast health education for all young people with breasts, including people who are cisgender, transgender, gender-fluid or gender non-conforming.

About the Guide

From urban schools in Minnesota and health fairs in New York to a health center in Bermuda, educators are using the guide in schools and community settings to teach breast health to young women. “The materials were straightforward and easy to use,” commented a facilitator from Texas. Nurses, health educators and group leaders have used the facilitator’s guide to cover breast cancer myths and facts and to encourage young women to advocate for their health.
