dc.description.abstract	Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in females and a leading cause of annual deaths. Health education and early detection of breast cancer may reduce and prevent death, and teachers could be the key. Objectives: To determine the knowledge, attitude and describe the practices of female high school teachers towards early detection of breast cancer. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study was conducted in public high schools in Addis Ababa. A self-administered questionnaire collected responses from a sample of 195 respondents. Data analysis used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) (2019), Version 22.0 program, and presented as descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Results revealed a low level of knowledge and practice of, and a negative attitude towards the early detection of breast cancer by female high school teachers. Conclusion: The knowledge, attitude and practice related to breast cancer needs to be improved among female high school teachers.	en
