“…We report that in further studies, sub-populations must be approached in deeper stratification. In addition, it is recommended that further studies adopt up-to-date methods in data handling and analysis, such as “text mining” to draw specifically related articles 41 , “social network mining” 42 , and “data mining” for relevant data bases 43 .…”

Background: Despite the widespread practice of consanguinity in Sudan, there is a lack of exploration into the community’s awareness of its health implications on offspring and their overall attitude towards consanguineous unions. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the community’s awareness of the possible health adversities of consanguinity on children and assess the effect of knowledge level on the prevailing attitude towards this practice in Sudan. Methods: From August to December 2018, data was collected from adults aged 18 years and above in five provinces of Sudan regardless of their marital status. The analysis involved both descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques. Results: This study revealed a consanguinity rate of 30.2%. Despite a high awareness level (73.7%) regarding the effects of consanguineous marriage on the health of the offspring, a moderately negative attitude towards this practice (63.9%) was observed. Conclusion: The discordance between the high consanguinity rate in the Sudanese population and the moderately negative attitude suggests a potential persistence of this practice in the future. Without the implementation of educational programs and the provision of genetic counselling services to consanguineous couples, the prevalence of consanguinity is likely to endure.
