Sociodemographic Factors and Breast Self-Examination Among Married Women in Jordan, 2023

12,304 married Jordanian women aged 20–49 were analyzed from the 2023 Jordan Population and Family Health Survey to explore factors influencing breast self-examination (BSE) practices. The dataset, authored by Amr Ahmed Aly Ibrahim and last updated in May 2026, includes socioeconomic, demographic, behavioral, and geographic variables. It contains results from a multivariable logistic regression analysis, showing associations between factors like age, education, wealth, and BSE practice.

Use Cases

• Predicting BSE adoption likelihood based on sociodemographic profiles mentioned in the description
• Identifying regional disparities in breast health awareness across Jordanian governorates
• Analyzing the relationship between media consumption habits (internet, newspapers) and preventive health behaviors
• Modeling the impact of socioeconomic status (wealth index) on healthcare practice uptake

Strengths

• Data is derived from a nationally representative survey of 12,595 women, providing a solid sampling base.
• Analysis includes a wide range of variables: socioeconomic, demographic, behavioral, and geographic.
• Results are supported by specific statistical measures (e.g., AOR 3.08 for age 45–49).

Limitations

• Row count for the dataset is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (13.5 KB), indicating a limited scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw survey records.
