| Intervention |
Structured health education |
This study was conducted among women aged 18 to 70 years residing in rural areas of Belagavi to assess the impact of structured health education on cancer awareness. Using stratified random sampling, 178 participants were selected and divided into two equal groups: an experimental group 89 and a control group 89. Participants were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria ensuring only eligible women were enrolled. The intervention group received a structured health education session on cervical breast and oral cancer while the control group did not receive any intervention during the study period. After two months a post test was carried out for both groups using the same questionnaire to measure changes in knowledge and attitude. Finally the collected data was analyzed and reported to determine the effectiveness of the health education program. |
