Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection in the newborn can present with sensorineural hearing loss and microcephaly. The objectives of this study were to determine baseline knowledge of cCMV and the acceptability of an infographic about cCMV among a group of postpartum women. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing their perceptions of an infographic as well as their knowledge and risk behaviours for acquisition of CMV. Of all 140 respondents, 119 (85%) had no prior knowledge of cCMV, and all 12 women (8.6%) who viewed the infographic indicated that it was helpful. Our study also demonstrated that passive dissemination of an infographic in clinics results in limited viewership.
