Abstract
Awareness of the risk factors associated with breast cancer can alleviate fear and anxiety, and can lead people to pursue prevention. This article describes a university's annual breast health education event focused on breast health awareness and breast cancer education. Community health organizations and student organizations serve as exhibitors and provide students with opportunities to test their knowledge and dispel myths. Over the past 5 years this event has reached more than 2,000 students. Initiatives such as this event provide health educators with an opportunity to reach this highly vulnerable population. © Copyright 2019 Creative Health Care Management.Entities:
