Study Setting
This cross-sectional study involved gynecologists practicing in three
major cities of Jordan: Amman (the capital), Irbid and Al Zarqa (two
urban cities) relying on the population density and the geographical
distribution. IrbidĀ is located to the north of Amman and it is the
second largest city in Jordan by population after Amman (according to
the Department of Statistics in Jordan) 7. Irbid is
surrounded by a large number of villages that lack specialized
hospitals; therefore, patients have to come to Irbid for their
medications. Al Zarqa is located in the northeast of Jordan and is
considered to be the largest city after Amman (area-wise) and the third
largest city by population in Jordan.
