Abstract
Breast cancer is a public health problem worldwide and a major cause of death among women. Breast
cancer screening is well known as a method to reduce breast cancer death, while, several barriers to breast
cancer screening were identified. This study aimed to explore breast cancer screening among Indonesian women.
Samples were taken by stratified random sampling in 864 women aged ≥18 in three places, namely: Yogyakarta,
South of Sumatera, and East Nusa Tenggara. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyse all items of the
questionnaire against breast cancer screening. Of 864 females, the majority were aged ≥50 years (7.52%). In
addition, respondents who performed clinical breast examination (CBE) or mammography were 18.29%. Women’s
age≥ 50 years hadthe odds lower level of awareness forno perform breast cancer screening 3.07times higher
compared to women aged <50 years, but women’s age who did CBE or Mammography did not show significance.
Education, religion, marital status, and health insurance are significantly associated with breast cancer screening.
