How good is fertility knowledge and what are treatment beliefs in an international sample of men and women currently trying to conceive?

The study population had a modest level of fertility knowledge and held positive and negative views of treatment.

Few studies have examined general fertility treatment attitudes but studies of specific interventions show that attitudes are related to characteristics of the patient, doctor and context. Further, research shows that fertility knowledge is poor. However, the majority of these studies have examined the prevalence of infertility, the optimal fertile period and/or age-related infertility in women, in university students and/or people from high-resource countries making it difficult to generalize findings.
