- Summarize the health problem, new findings on breast cancer prevention, and the consequences of not addressing this problem.
- Briefly discuss the social, political, and economic implications of breast cancer prevention.
- Summarize the current legislation at the state and federal level that addresses breast cancer prevention and the shortcomings of each.
