BackgroundBack

In August 2013, Hong Kong Cancer Fund commissioned the Public Opinion Programme (POP) at the University of Hong Kong to conduct this “Survey on Hong Kong Women’s Understanding of Breast Check-up and Breast Cancer”, which targeted at Cantonese-speaking female citizens in Hong Kong aged 18 or above. The survey was specifically designed to understand Hong Kong females’ breast check-up habit and their opinion on breast check-up, as well as their knowledge on breast cancer.

The survey questionnaire was designed independently by POP after consulting Hong Kong Cancer Fund, all fieldwork operations, data collection and analysis were also carried out independently by POP, and POP would take full responsibility for all the findings reported herewith. The survey methodology and results are open to the public.
