Introduction: Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is an effort of self-early breast cancer detection, which is recommended to be carried out routinely from the age of 12 years. As this campaign is important to reach out, especially to young people, this study has been conducted to evaluate the relationship between the student characteristics and their perception of BSE and breast cancer disease (susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy), school supports, and media exposure might affect their behavior on implement BSE practice. This study focuseds on students in Islamic Boarding School Mijen, Semarang.
