• Analyzing the association between obstetric characteristics (gravidity, prior vaginal birth) and levels of fear of childbirth.
• Investigating demographic factors, such as age, associated with primary versus secondary tokophobia.
• Modeling the prevalence of different fear levels (low, moderate, high, severe) within a pregnant population.

Strengths
