“Proud to share that our study has been published in Frontiers in Public Health (Impact Factor 4.1, Q1). The study surveyed 544 healthcare providers across Jordan to examine how KAP elements come together to shape breast cancer early detection. Findings were triangulated across multiple robust statistical approaches, pointing to a clear, actionable opportunity; providers are highly motivated and knowledgeable about clinical signs and symptoms, but need stronger support on screening-specific guidelines. More insights are available in the full version of the manuscript.
This work reflects the capacity and dedication of the Jordan Breast Cancer Program (JBCP) to build an enabling environment for early detection through evidence generation that can inform health system design and policy advocacy. This study stands as one of the largest multi-professional KAP assessments conducted in the region to date. We see this methodology as directly replicable across other countries facing similar early-detection challenges, and JBCP is ready to collaborate through its tools, technical expertise, and lessons learned with any national program or institution interested in conducting a similar assessment. We welcome the conversation.
We are grateful to everyone who contributed to this effort.”
