The impact of socioeconomic characteristics on Sudanese women’s use of traditional, complementary and integrative medicine for self-management of infertility

Socioeconomic factors that potentially impact Sudanese women's strategies used in the self-management of infertility were identified. The results highlighted the associations of Sudanese women's strategies used in self-management of infertility with the socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents. The study offered policymakers with information to re-examine the loose or relaxed rules governing traditional, complementary and integrative medicine use in the societies of developing countries in general and Sudan in particular, as the culture of these societies seems to encourage the use of self-management strategies.
