Core Tip In Ethiopia, a study reveals that family history (FH) significantly boosts awareness and preventive practices among women, with those reporting FH demonstrating 83.9% knowledge compared to only 10.5% among those without. However, 69%-79% of participants live below the poverty line, underscoring critical socioeconomic barriers. Education, income, and insurance emerge as strong predictors of positive outcomes, suggesting that expanding community health insurance could be a pivotal strategy. This editorial advocates for deploying community-based approaches, culturally tailored education, and AI-powered education tools, to bridge knowledge gaps in resource-limited settings and transform awareness into action globally.
