Lead exposure of Bangladeshi women at childbearing age: Does mother's education reduce fetal risk factors? by Sharmind Neelotpol (19732277)

“…Although the more-educated women claimed that they were aware of the harmful effects of lead, as opposed to the less-educated women not being aware (<i>p</i> < 0.0001), they failed to substantiate their claim because this was not reflected in their everyday practices as revealed by the ‘previous birth outcome records’ of their fetuses. This indicated that their knowledge or awareness of lead, particularly its sources and detrimental effects, remained superficial, and their educational background had no statistically significant difference with respect to the awareness of lead toxicity (<i>p</i> = 0.103). …”
