NS - not significant at 0.05%level of significance * - significant at 0.05%level of significance DF - degrees of freedom The above table shows that Chi square values of teachers knowledge regarding breast cancer with selected variables, type of family ( 2 = 55.652), educational qualification (2 = 27.657), marital status (2 = 29.863), number of children (2 = 9.593), known personal history of breast cancer (2 = 51.481), were found significant at 5% level of significance. Hence, there was significant relationship between the knowledge of teachers regarding breast cancer and their type of family, educational qualification, marital status, number of children, and known personal history of breast cancer. Hence, researcher rejected the null hypotheses i.e. H05, H06, H07, H010, H011, and accepted research hypotheses for the same variables. The chi square values of teachers knowledge regarding breast cancer with selected variables, age(2 = 3.831) religion (2 = 6.127), caste (2 =

4.712), type of school (2 = 4.619), family income (2 = 5.707), history of breast cancer in the family (2 = 1.323), menstrual status (2 = 4.939), oral contraceptive drugs (2 = 2.778), source of knowledge (2 = 13.360), were not significant at 0.05%level of significance. Therefore the researcher has accepted the null hypothesis H01. H02, H03, H04, H08, H09, H012, H013,and H014. Their by researcher has rejected the research hypothesis for the same variables.
