were used to collect the required data to assess women demographic data, health profile and
lifestyle pattern, women’s knowledge and BSE practices and their level of satisfaction with the
tailored web site and the training received. Results: there is a statistically significant improvement
of the total knowledge score of the studied women after the training implementation, where the

There is a statistically significant improvement of the total BSE score of the studied women after
the training implementation, where the mean score percent pre the training was 24.8±29.6 which
