The  first  year  Female  medical  students  of  FEU-NRMF ,  SY  1996-1997  were  subjected  to  a  pre-  &  post-  action  evaluation,  which  determined  their  level  of  awareness  regarding  Breast  Cancer,  its  Risk  factors  and  Breast  Self-examination  (BSE)  as  a   means  of  early  detection.  The  data  gathered  were  then  subjected  to  statistical  analysis  using  the  student`s  T-test  for  dependent  samples  with a  0.05  margin   of  error.  Analysis  of  the  general  scores  produced  a  significant  value  ( t  =  19.49 )  higher than  the  set  critical   region  of   +  1.96.   This shows  that  the action  program  was  instrumental  in  increasing  the  subject`s  level  of  awareness.   Question  analysis  was  also  done  and  this  produced  the  following  results:   there  was  a  significant  increases  (= =  15.60,  >  1.96 )  in  the  level  of  awareness  with  regards  to  those  who  are  at  risk  of  having  breast  cancer;  a  significant  increase  (+  =  6.28,  >  1.96 )  in  the  level  of  awareness  regarding  the  risk  factors  leading  to  breast  cancer;  a  significant  increase   (+  =  10.00,  >  1.96 )  in  the  level  of  awareness  regarding  methods  of  detecting  breast  cancer;  and  lastly,  a  significant  increase  (+  =  17.61,  >   1.96 )  regarding  the  steps  in    performing  breast  self-examination  (BSE) .  From  this,  it  can  be  concluded  that  a  multi-media  information  campaign  is  an  effective  means  of  bringing  about  an  increase  in  the  level  of  awareness  regarding  breast  cancer,  its  risk  factors,  and BSE  as a  means  of  early  detection
