Prevalence of Geophagy and Knowledge About Its Health Effects Among Native Sub-Saharan Africa, Caribbean and South America Healthy Adults Living in France (Prevalgeophagy)
Study Description
Brief Summary:
Since geophagy is widespread among women from Sub-Saharan Africa, South America and the Caribbean, we aimed to determine the frequency of geophagy and the level of knowledge about its health effects among healthy adults originating from these countries and attending a travel medicine and international vaccination consultation in France.

Detailed Description:
Since geophagy is widespread among women from Sub-Saharan Africa, South America and the Caribbean, we aimed to determine the frequency of geophagy and the level of knowledge about its health effects among healthy adults originating from these countries and attending a travel medicine and international vaccination consultation in France.
A cross-sectional study was performed in the consultation for travel medicine and international vaccination in Reims University Hospital, France. All adult travellers who were natives of Sub Saharan Africa, South America and the Caribbean or born in France of parents from these countries were eligible to complete a confidential questionnaire about geophagy, which was defined as eating soil or clay. Descriptive analysis was performed.
