“…Participants' KAP on developmental monitoring was also improved after participating in the present study. These findings are congruent with the findings of the Brazilian study, which revealed that PHC professionals' knowledge and practices about child development were improved after participation in continuing education programs [9]. After this intervention, participants became more knowledgeable about the interpreting of growth on the 2006 WHO growth charts' z-score, estimation of gestational age for premature babies, diagnosis of global developmental delay, identifying of the appropriate age milestones, physicians' concern for children's speech and language, and indication of referral for children's motor development.…”

“…These preventive services include clinical examinations (focusing on growth and development monitoring), screening, immunizations, micronutrient supplementations, and anticipatory guidance [5,6]. In developing countries, previous studies have examined KAP/education of FPs/primary health care (PHC) providers on growth monitoring [7], child development [8,9], sensory screening [10,11], and chemoprevention, e.g., vitamin D supplementation for infants [12]. Some studies revealed that FPs' knowledge toward oral health was limited and insufficient for postgraduate training [13].…”
