Project: Down Syndrome in Qatar: A Survey of Public Perception and Educational Resources Faculty Mentor: Pablo Rodriguez del Pozo, MD, JD, PhD Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, Qatar The goal of this study was to understand if a significant knowledge gap existed among the public in Qatar regarding Down Syndrome (DS). After hearing anecdotal reports of misunderstandings around DS, we explored this question using surveys. We found that 42% of respondents believed that children with DS are prone to misbehavior and aggression. A survey of parents of children with DS supported the observation that the public was generally apprehensive of individuals with DS. These results pointed to a need for improved public education on DS. 2010-2011
