| dc.description.abstract | The practice of female genital mutilation (FGM)
is widespread in Nigeria. This study was conducted
to assess the perceptions of FGM among
mothers at a primary healthcare centre in Lagos,
Nigeria. A convenience sample of 95 mothers
completed the pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaires.
Data analysis was carried out using
descriptive statistics and a chi-square test was
used to test for association between variables.
Findings showed that the mothers held ambivalent
beliefs about the practice. | en_US |
