A face-to-face survey, developed based on the literature and validated by experts, assessed participants' knowledge, awareness, and practices regarding DDH and the nationwide screening program. The survey consisted of two sections: a Participant Information Form (14 socio-demographic and professional questions) and 30 knowledge-based questions (8 using a Likert scale).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Among the 401 family physicians who participated in the study, 109 (27.2%) reported actively managing patients diagnosed with DDH. Over the past year, 20,124 babies were stated to be screened, with 2.98% identified as having pathological ultrasonography results. The overall knowledge and awareness score (for DDH, program details and practices) was 66.59 ± 8.4%, positively associated with following babies with DDH (p=0.042), attending congresses/symposiums (p=0.008), specialty training (p=0.022; r=0.156), receiving in-service training and online education on hip screening program (p=0.002; r=0.167), and screening a higher number of babies (p&lt;0.001). 71.3% of participants recommended double diapering for babies with high risk factors, while 70.3% used provocative tests such as the Barlow-Ortolani. Knowledge awareness scores about the hip screening program were significantly higher in those who followed DDH patients (p&lt;0.001), attended congress and symposiums (p=0.006), screened higher number of babies (r=0.216, p&lt;0.001), had specialty training (p=0.005), female physicians (p=0.012), used multiple training resources (p=0.002), and considered themselves competent in DDH (p&lt;0.001). Awareness of DDH risk factors and treatment remained relatively low (49.2% and 64.1%, respectively).

Female physicians have greater knowledge and awareness about the hip screening program.
