Deciphering community-level knowledge of obstetric fistula and determinants: perspectives elucidated by ordinal logistic regression
The study reveals an alarmingly low level of knowledge about obstetric fistula. Higher income and prior awareness were associated with increased knowledge about obstetric fistula, while self-employment, unemployment, and non-participation in women's conferences were liked to decreased knowledge. Enhancing community knowledge requires a holistic strategy involving cooperation from all stakeholders and tackling broader socio-economic disparities.
