It's kind of tough linking breast cancer with BHPP coz BHPP is mainly about legislation, policies and all that government jazz, and you can't really set any laws in to prevent/reduce breast cancer (unlike injuries, where you can implement road laws to decrease the road toll). What I would do is look at all the risk factors for breast cancer (menstruation at an early age, late menopause, late first pregnancy, high fat diet, obesity etc etc) and come up with little laws, regulations and policies that prevent or reduce these risk factors which ultimately reduce breast cancer.

Hope that helps. Do you have a text book that tells you all about BHPP?
