Objective:
This article aims to evaluate a questionnaire as a tool for assessing knowledge on female genital mutilation.
Materials And Methods:
Prospective survey between November 2021 to May 2022. An anonymized questionnaire of 34 questions has been sent to residents of general medicine, forensic medicine, gynaecology and obstetrics and medical gynaecology. A total of 332 responses (14% of eligible residents) were analysed using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and hierarchical clustering to assess the relevance of the questionnaire.
Results:
The scores obtained (between 12.31 and 19.07 out of 46) reveal significant knowledge gaps among all residents. MCA and hierarchical clustering identified four distinct profiles of residents, each showing specific knowledge deficiencies.
Conclusion:
This study reveals significant knowledge gaps regarding female genital mutilation across all categories of residents surveyed, suggesting that mandatory training should be implemented given the prevalence of this issue.
