The aim of this study was to determine the level of awareness and factors influencing intention to donate cord blood to blood bank among antenatal clinic attendees at a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n We conducted a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study of 400 women attending the antenatal clinic of a tertiary hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, between February and June 2018. The data were analyzed using Stata version 13; comparisons were conducted with Chi-square, Student's\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test, and Mann\u2013Whitney U-test. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression was conducted with \u201cwillingness to donate\u201d as the outcome variable.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Majority (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 287\/331 [86.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 76.4\u201384.9]) of the participants had some knowledge of UCB, almost half intended future donation of UCB (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 161\/333, [48.3%, 95% CI: 42.9\u201353.6]). Based on our findings, factors such as religion (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001), education (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03), information from health-care provider (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001) appear to influence awareness, and the decision to donate UCB.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Although the awareness of the clinical uses of UCB is very limited in Nigeria, the intent to participate in UCB donation is high. Factors such as religion, education, and prior information about UCB donation by health-care providers have been identified in this study to have an influence on the decision to donate UCB.<\/jats:p>\n
