screening is unavailable for birth defects, a lot of responsibility is
placed on parents in the recognition of these defects. Objectives: The
aim of the study was to determine the awareness of mothers about birth

and December, 2012. Data were collected with interviewer administered

questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed
using SPSS and statistical significance set at p <0.05 Results: The
participants were aged 17 to 42 years. Only 183 (25.6%) were aware of
birth defects. Factors associated with awareness of birth defects were
older age, religious belief, better education, higher socioeconomic
class, early age at booking and registering at a tertiary care
facility. Education, socioeconomic class as well as month and location
of booking were found to be independent predictors of awareness of
birth defects. Conclusion: Mothers in Ibadan, Nigeria, a country
without a formal newborn screening programme, have a poor level of
awareness about birth defects.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1680-6905</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1729-0503</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1680-6905</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.4314/ahs.v15i1.24</identifier><identifier>PMID: 25834547</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Uganda: Makerere University Medical School</publisher><subject>Awareness ; Birth defects ; Congenital Abnormalities ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Developing country ; Female ; Health and Medicine ; Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice ; Humans ; Infant, Newborn ; Knowledge ; Mothers ; Nigeria ; Nursing ; Socioeconomic Factors ; Surveys and Questionnaires</subject><ispartof>African health sciences, 2015-01, Vol.15 (1), p.180-187</ispartof><rights>Copyright 2015 - African Health Sciences</rights><rights>Copyright © Makerere Medical School, Uganda 2015 2015</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-b475t-917d250a46e5aaf426088955f0eb7dfd2e845cbb28f8de6119fc0f6e59ba9a963</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4370152/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4370152/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,881,27901,27902,53766,53768,79168</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25834547$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Lawal, Taiwo Akeem</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yusuf, Oyindamola Bidemi</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Fatiregun, Akinola Ayoola</creatorcontrib><title>Knowledge of birth defects among nursing mothers in a developing country</title><title>African health sciences</title><addtitle>Afr Health Sci</addtitle><description>Background: In the absence of established guidelines, where formal
