West HM, Milliren CE, Vragovic O, et al. - Researchers aimed at determining the perceived barriers to Chagas disease screening among prenatal care providers in Obstetrics/Gynecology and Family Medicine Departments of a tertiary care safety-net hospital caring for a significant at-risk population. A total of 178 Obstetrics/Gynecology and Family Medicine practitioners were administered an anonymous survey. Of the 66 respondents, 39% considered Chagas screening as very important, and 48% considered it somewhat important as a public health initiative. One third considered screening patients during clinic visits as very important. Most respondents (64%) were identified to be familiar with Chagas disease. However, only 32% have knowledge of how to order a test and only 22% described having knowledge concerning what to do if a test was positive. Based on findings, they emphasize greater integration of information on Chagas disease screening and treatment in medical and nursing education curricula in order to address this disease with the focus that its potentially fatal sequel merit.
