  "description": "<p>Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women of developed and developing countries. Among the screening methods, breast self-examination is the physical examination of the women&rsquo;s breasts that is conducted by oneself that is easy, safe and requires no cost or specific equipment. However, in resource limited countries like Ethiopia, the figure appears to be much less. Therefore, Breast self-examination should be encouraged as early detection means of breast cancer in order to avert the related morbidities and mortalities.<br>\nObjective: To assess the practice of Breast self-examination and its associated factors among women seeking care in public health centers of Addis Ababa.<br>\nMethod: An institution based cross-sectional study design on sample size of 422 was used to collect data from March 01-30, 2016. A simple random sampling technique was employed for the selection of Health centers and then informants were selected by using systematic random sampling method. Epi data version 3.5 and SPSS version 22 was used for data entry and analysis respectively. Moreover, Logistic regression analysis was fitted and odds ratios with 95% Confidence intervals were computed and p values less than 0.05 were considered significant.</p>",
