Abstract
Viral conjunctivitis, a prevalent ocular ailment, often affects diverse populations, leading to public health and socio-economic concerns. Comprehensive studies on its socio-demographic associations are sparse. To evaluate the influence of socio-demographic variables on the prevalence of viral conjunctivitis using a structured cross-sectional survey. In this study, a sample of 400 individuals diagnosed with viral conjunctivitis was selected. A standardized questionnaire captured data on socio-demographic parameters such as age, gender, occupation, educational attainment, residential environment and other pertinent indicators. Statistical analyses, including chi-squared tests and logistic regression, were employed to unearth associations between these factors and the incidence of viral conjunctivitis. Initial analysis highlighted distinct socio-demographic elements, with particular age brackets and living conditions emerging as significant influencers. A comprehensive breakdown of results elucidates discernible patterns, pinpointing specific demographic clusters at heightened risk. The study reaffirms the role of socio-demographic determinants in shaping the landscape of viral conjunctivitis susceptibility. Such insights pave the way for focused public health interventions and awareness campaigns, ensuring maximum reach and efficacy.
