Factors Associated with Poor Knowledge of Chronic Kidney Disease in the General Population of Abomey-Calavi (Benin): A Cross-Sectional Study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

A survey in Abomey-Calavi, Benin asked members of the public what they knew about chronic kidney disease. Knowledge was poor overall, and the study looked at which groups knew the least. The record here does not give how many people were surveyed. A survey like this shows links between background and awareness, not proof of cause, and it measures what people know rather than how they are treated.
