The total scores were 53, 64 and 25 for KAP, respectively. Then the quintile scores were obtained. The quintile scores (first—fourth) were for prompted knowledge: 34, 40, 43, 45; for attitudes: 33, 37, 39, 42; for behaviour: 9, 11, 13, 15. Next, the levels of survey respondents on KAP were classified into the following five subdivisions based on the quintile score: ≤20% ‘highly insufficient’; 21–40% ‘insufficient’; 41–60% ‘sufficient’; 61–80% ‘satisfactory’; >80% ‘highly satisfactory’.41 The median percentage scores for KAP were 79.3, 74.2 and 48 for all respondents.
