Among the college population, previous research showed mixed results for breast cancer prevention knowledge levels and screening adherence. In a comparative study of California Asian and Latina university students, cancer prevention knowledge was a significant predictor of CBE for only Latina students. In a study of mostly White Northeast college women, risk factor knowledge and susceptibility to breast cancer were not associated with risk-reducing behaviors. In another study of Australian college women, results suggested limited risk knowledge and misconceptions or myths such as family history of breast cancer contributing to most breast cancer diagnoses or getting hit in the breast as a cancer cause .
