Abstract: Results of a telephone interview of 290 New Orleans women indicate that, at best, only about 10 per cent of them efficaciously applied breast cancer self-detection technology. These findings suggest that research to date regarding breast self-examination efficacy in early tumor detection actually is problematic since few controls have been provided for the degree to which research subjects possess the knowledge to perform the examination correctly.
