ditional medical school education focused solely on the “70 kilogram male” (Tschida, 1995). However, in the past 15 years, there has been growing interest and activism devoted to women's health issues (American Medical Student Association, 2006). Unfortunately, it takes time for activism to trickle down to the educational realm. As recently as 2003, less than half of medical schools offered curriculum specializing in women’s health (Intelihealth, 2003). The number of classes containing health curricular issues at the high school and college level may be even fewer than those in medical schools, especially those concerning primarily women’s issues. In fact, internet searches of these issues reveal few hits. As education is a valuable tool for promoting health (American Cancer Society, 2006), we wondered whether college students have received education about general health issues, including two of the most common women’s health issues—breast cancer and eating disorders. It is estimated that each day over 1,500 people will die from cancer (American Cancer Society, 2006). Not only does cancer affect the individual who has it, but it also affects the lives of those who love and care about the cancer patient. Breast cancer is one of the leading types of cancer. It is estimated that there will be 212,930 new cases of breast cancer per year; 211,240 of these individuals are women and 1,690 are men (American Cancer Society). Equally alarming is that of these 212,930 new cases, almost a fourth of these breast cancer victims will die (Imaginis, 1997-2006). Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (American Cancer Society; Imaginis, 2006). Although the exact cause of breast cancer is unknown, several risk factors have been identified (American Cancer Society, 2006) including genetics, being female, the consumption of alcohol, lack of exercise, poor eating habits, aging, and when menarche (menstruation) first begins and when it ends (menopause; American Cancer Society; National Breast Cancer Foundation, 2005b; Straub, 2002). However, it is unclear whether individuals know about the risk factors that they can control (e.g., exercise, diet) in order to minimize their chance of developing breast cancer. In today’s society, the media plays an important role in breast cancer awareness. It is through the media that the general public hears the stories of breast canCHRISTY ZENNER
