Description
Biazin Yenealem Mekuriaw and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 on what pregnant women in a resource-limited setting know about neurodevelopmental disorders, conditions affecting child brain development. A hospital-based survey of 404 pregnant women used standard questionnaires for knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions. Factors linked to each score were tested.
Average scores converted to 43.6 percent for knowledge, 38.5 percent for attitudes, and 72.8 percent for perception, rated inadequate, poor, and good in turn. Lower schooling and past substance use went with lower knowledge, while strong social support raised it. A diploma or higher and strong support also favored better attitudes and perceptions. A family history of mental illness went with less favorable views, the analysis found.
