Socioecological analysis of perceptions and factors influencing breast cancer screening: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBreast cancer is a global public health problem, the most common disease among women. Perceptions of screening vary across regions, cultures, and socio-economic groups, influencing their health decisions and behaviors. The objective of this study was to analyze perceptions and factors influencing breast cancer screening among women, community leaders, caregivers, and health care providers in Burkina Faso in 2024. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis was an exploratory qualitative study involving different groups of participants. It involved analyzing perceptions through individual interviews and exploring factors that influence the misperception of breast cancer screening and protective factors for breast cancer screening using the Photovoice method. The principle of saturation was adopted to determine the sample size. The collection was stopped when it no longer provided new evidence. In the end, 57 participants were included in this study.
resultsParticipants were aged 21-52, with a median age of 36.5 years. The analysis showed that the perception of breast cancer screening was influenced by multiple factors such as ignorance, social stigma, high cost of medical examinations and care, lack of awareness campaigns and information, and accessibility of screening centres. Protective factors influencing breast cancer screening perception identified were the belief in the importance of early detection, screening media coverage, awareness and subsidies for examinations and treatments.
conclusionThe results indicate that comprehensive health promotion strategies are necessary to improve this perception. These various initiatives can reduce the prejudices associated with breast cancer, thereby encouraging greater participation in screening.
