摘要：
This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted in order to assess the frequency of misconceptions present in societies of low socioeconomic status so that healthcare providers can pay due attention to whichever misconceptions are most prevalent and work towards eradicating them. The study was conducted in Sultanabad and Rehri Goth areas of Karachi, both being of low socioeconomic status. A sample size of 75 interviewees from each settlement was taken and data collected over the time period of one month. The results indicated that a high frequency of misconceptions is prevalent in societies of low socioeconomic status, where the literacy rates were low.
