| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of neonatal circumcision immediately following delisting of the procedure in Ontario and to examine parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours regarding circumcision. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Perinatal tertiary care centre in southwestern Ontario. PARTICIPANTS: Of the 151 mothers approached, three were excluded because they did not speak English and two declined participation; 112 of 146 mothers of healthy male newborns responded for a response rate of 77%. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Circumcision status of infant and parents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour. RESULTS: The circumcision rate before delisting had been 56.2%; in the months immediately after, the rate was 59.8% (95% confidence interval was 51%, 69%). Mothers of infants in the outcome groups did not differ significantly in any demographic feature other than education, where the group deciding against circumcision reported higher education levels (Wilcoxon nonparametic two-sample test: zeta = 2.29, P = 0.02). Mothers who chose circumcision listed medical (59%) and sociocultural considerations (40%) a most important to their decision. Father's circumcision status was strongly associated with the infant's (chi 2[df 1] = 25.13, P = 0.0001). Although 74% discussed circumcision with their family physicians, many parents were not well informed about risks or benefits. Anesthetic use during circumcision was reported by 29%, but 48% did not know whether any had been used. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of neonatal circumcision did not change after delisting. Informed consent was often lacking. Sociocultural issues are important to some parents and need to be addressed in the consultation process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
