Abstract Miscarriage is generally defined as the loss of an intrauterine pregnancy before 24 completed weeks of gestation. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines miscarriage as ‘the expulsion from its mother of an embryo or fetus weighing 500 g or less, corresponding to a gestational age of up to 20 completed weeks of gestation with no signs of life’. This study serves as an initial investigation on the level of awareness of miscarriage among students of the University of Cyberjaya. It is a cross-sectional study which involves the students of University Of Cyberjaya, a set of questionnaires were distributed among themselves to determine the prevalence of the condition or knowledge in question. Overall, out of 449 respondents 73,7%; n:331 of the respondents are within the age of 20- 29 years old. The results of this study shows that four of five categories, which are the gender (female, 71%, p=0.004), age group (20-29 years old, 94.9%, p=0.002), ethnicity (Indian, 40.2%, p=0.013) and courses (MBBS, 52.1%, p=0.701) show remarkable associations with students' knowledge levels regarding miscarriage. It was also found that the respondents agreed on idea of substance abuse (57.0%, mean = 4.314) is the most common risk factor for miscarriage and the best preventative measure to overcome this problem is by controlling sugar levels, blood pressure, cholesterol, tobacco, and alcohol consumption (56.1%, p<0.001). Our research also proves that there is a significant relationship among knowledge levels, awareness of risk factors, and the adoption of preventive measures related to miscarriage among students at the University of Cyberjaya. Higher knowledge levels are associated with increased awareness of risk factors (p<0.001), and both knowledge and awareness are positively correlated with the adoption of preventive measures (p<0.001 respectively).
