简要总结
Infertility is on the rise worldwide due to multiple reasons. Proper and timely diagnosis makes the treatment easier and more acceptable by the couple. Lack of fertility knowledge however delays necessary investigations and sometimes reduces chances of success as a consequence of a delay in patients / couples approaching infertility clinics. Assessing the fertility knowledge of the Emirati infertility patients would help us to understand better the cultural aspects of fertility, the driving forces for having children and how much patients actually know about predisposing factors for infertility. This in turn would improve counseling and possible set knowledge campaigns to increase awareness.

主要结局
Understanding Knowledge and Attitudes of Emirati Infertility Patients Towards Fertility Issues
时间窗: 1 year
A self-built survey was created to cover the different aspects of United Arab Emirates culture. The survey was pilot tested on 9 people not related to the fertility clinic for comprehension and ease of reading. The nature of the questions included would help in understanding the way the local population thinks about fertility in general given that the Emirati society is governed by certain religious and social norms and expectations. The data that will be collected by the end of this study will aid in creating certain guidelines easing the approach to infertile patients as well raising fertility awareness campaigns to encourage patients seek fertility specialist opinion early on that could potentially improve the success rates of fertility treatments.
