Résumé
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, yet few studies have focused on the Algerian population regarding screening uptake. This study aims to assess social determinants influencing breast cancer screening (BCS) among Algerian women through a cross-sectional survey of 843 participants, considering factors like age, marital status, number of children, educational level, household income, employment status, residence, health insurance, breast cancer history and breast cancer family history. Results from binary logistic regression indicate that only age and family history significantly predict non-participation in breast cancer screening, while marital status, number of children, employment status, health insurance, and household income showed significant associations with participation in bivariate analysis.
