Knowledge, attitude and practice of health care practitioners in Saudi Arabia, with regard to prevention of vitamin D deficiency in infancy.

CONCLUSION: This study highlights the need for distribution of the recommendations for vitamin D supplementation in KSA, as widely as possible.  This study suggests that healthcare practitioners understand the importance of correction of vitamin D deficiency.  Deficiencies in knowledge with regard to sun exposure were identified.  Dissemination of this information is, therefore, likely to impact significantly on the practice of a receptive clinical population.
