Highlights
The burden of breast cancer continues to increase in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs)
Muslim women had a higher breast cancer perception score compared to Christian women
Having received breast selfexamination (BSE) instruction and knowing someone who had breast cancer increased the odds of performing BSE while being Muslim and increasing age decreased the odds
Summary
The burden of breast cancer continues to increase in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). There is an increased research effort for identifying, understanding and intervening the rising of physical, emotional and financial burdens of non-communicable diseases in African countries including Rwanda. The dearth of scientific knowledge on complex refugee family dynamics has resulted in a lack of family-based interventions in many host countries. This gap could be due to the failure to address multidimensional changes, complexities experienced by refugee families over time, and uncertainty in the field over which of these elements to address first. The aim of this research is to examine availability and utilization of resources related to their daily stress, family conflict and physical/psychological health by refugee families. We report health statistics from Syrian hospitals over a 6-month period in 2016
