<![CDATA[Breast cancer is one of the diseases with the highest incidence rates among women and can cause death if not detected early. Breast self-examination (SADARI) is a simple method for detecting breast abnormalities early on. However, the knowledge and practice of breast self-examination (SADARI) among adolescent girls are still low. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of health education on breast self-examination (BSE) on the knowledge and practice of early breast cancer detection at Pondok Pesantren Darul Amanah Sukorejo Kendal. Quantitative research method with a quasi-experimental design and a one group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 50 respondents with total sampling. Ethics test no: 03/EC-LPPM/UWHS/I-2026. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that there is an influence of health education on knowledge with a p-value of 0.001 and on the practice of early breast cancer detection with a p-value of 0.001. It can be concluded that health education can enhance the awareness, understanding, and ability of adolescents to perform breast self-examination (SADARI) independently as an early detection effort for breast cancer, making it important to continue this practice sustainably.]]>
