Description
Four authors present a survey study dated two thousand twenty-six on newborn screening in Turkiye. The screening takes a few drops of blood from a baby's heel to catch hidden diseases early. Its success depends on parents knowing what it is for and agreeing to take part.
The team surveyed three hundred fifty mothers with a structured set of questions. They recorded family background and what each mother knew, thought, and did about the screening. Their main measure was whether a mother reported concern about the process. They then looked for which traits tracked with concern or refusal, using models that adjust for several factors at once.
