Abstract:
Background: Danger signs in the neonatal period are non specific and could be a manifestation
of almost any new born disease. Early recognition of these signs by mothers is a pre-request for
increasing neonatal care seeking behavior. But there is a gap in assessing mother抯 knowledge in
neonatal danger signs. Because previous few studies undertaken in Ethiopia did not address
some factors that affect neonatal mortality in country context.
Objective: To assess knowledge of neonatal danger sign and associated factors among mothers
who gave birth at home and health institution in Meicha District, Northwest Ethiopia.
Methods: A community based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from March to
April, 2018 among 650 mothers
