Breast cancer is one of the most common tumors in women and the most frequent in women under 40 years of age [Some risk factors associated with the development of breast cancer, such as age, family history, and age at menarche and menopause, among others, are considered non-modifiable [According to Borgquist et al. [There is growing evidence of the benefits of health promotion interventions for reducing cancer risk among high-risk individuals. It is essential that breast cancer health promotion programs are carried out in a more targeted, individualized way to ensure that they reach women [The study’s main aim was to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of an educational intervention using a web-app to improve knowledge of breast cancer risk factors and symptoms among women without breast cancer diagnosis in the Principado de Asturias (Spain). The secondary aim was the assessment of adherence to healthy eating and physical activity. The present study attempts to demonstrate that an educational intervention using a web-application based on the Behaviour Change Wheel model could be useful for improving knowledge of breast cancer risk factors and symptoms, as well as improving adherence to a healthy diet and physical activity among young women without a previous diagnosis of breast cancer.
