Overview

Descriptive cross-sectional study reveals low antenatal care awareness in pregnant women, indicating educational gaps in urban slums.

Key Points

  • Only 8.4% of pregnant women demonstrated good antenatal care awareness, indicating a significant gap.
  • Higher education levels correlated with increased knowledge of antenatal care services, with P<0.001.
  • Women with four or more antenatal care visits showed significantly better awareness (P=0.02).
  • Targeted health education programs can address key factors influencing antenatal care awareness.
