COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes, and practices among Iranian pregnant and postpartum women: A national study.

Background: To control the spread of COVID-19, Iran has adopted rigorous precautionary and preventive measures, particularly for vulnerable groups. Considering the effects of knowledge and attitudes about COVID-19 on adherence to preventive measures, we examined women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) from pregnancy to 6 weeks postpartum about COVID-19 during this pandemic.

Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 7363 women were recruited via an online questionnaire between June 23, 2021 and July 7, 2021.
