dc.description.abstract Infertility is the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. The study was carried out in the La Nkwantanang district in the Greater Accra region of Ghana on the knowledge and perception about female infertility. The objectives of the study were to determine the knowledge on female infertility, to examine factors associated with the level of knowledge, to explore perception about female infertility and examine the factors that influence the perception about infertility. A multistage sampling method was used in selecting 354 respondents. An informed consent was sought from respondents and were also assured of confidentiality and anonymity. Questionnaires were used and Stata 15 was used to perform chi square test for associations and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The majority of the respondents were females (67.8%) and most (28.8%) were within the ages of 18 -21years and most of them were S.H.S leavers and students. Majority of the respondents (83.9%) had enough knowledge about infertility and these were mostly females. Demographic factors such gender, age, marital status, education and occupation were significantly associated with knowledge on female infertility (P<0.05). In conclusion, it was recommended health education should be given to the district to educate the residents on stigmatization of women when it comes to infertility. en_US
