It is imperative to improve understanding of the various aspects of early detection and prevention so as to identify problems early enough to reduce breast cancer deaths.

This study used an observational method with a cross-sectional design. The research sample amounted to 263 respondents selected using insidental sampling technique. The results there was a relationship between knowledge (0.000) and attitude (0.010) with breast self-examination behavior (SADARI).

The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of increasing education and socialization about SADARI for female students in order to increase awareness and implementation of SADARI behavior as an early prevention measure for breast cancer.
