Sumario:AIM: The present study aims to investigate the sources of information and its related factors among pregnant Afghan migrant women who reside in southeast Tehran Province, Iran. DESIGN: Cross‐sectional study. METHODS: A total of 280 pregnant Afghan women who received care at the prenatal clinics of selected healthcare centres in southeast Tehran Province (Iran) in 2018 enrolled in this study. Data were collected by continuous sampling by a questionnaire that asked about demographic, obstetric and sources of information used during pregnancy. RESULTS: The most important sources of information accessed by pregnant Afghan women were healthcare providers (65.1%), family and friends (47.55%), the Internet (32.1%) and media (18.9%). There was statistically a significant relationship between sources of information and education level, number of children, length of residence in Iran, place of birth and insurance status.
