Table 4. Mean scores for the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) and the mean KAP for the overall population and by gender.

	Range of score	Overall mean ± SD	Overall mean (%) (b)	Females mean ± SD	Males mean ± SD	P-value
Knowledge score	0-14	2.46 ± 1.935	17.6%	2.68 ± 2.071	2.13 ± 1.658	0.001
Attitudes score	0-16	6.24 ± 2.778	39%	6.39 ± 2.834	6.01± 2.680	0.072
Practices score	0-16	5.76 ± 3.787	36%	6.35 ± 3.982	4.89 ± 3.282	<0.001
Total KAP score (a)	0-46	14.46 ± 7	31.4%	15 ± 7	13 ± 6	<0.001

^(a) Total KAP score is the sum of the knowledge, the attitude and the practice score.

^(b) Overall mean (%) is the product of the overall mean by hundred divided by the upper limit of each score, e.g., knowledge overall mean (%) = (2.46*100)/14 = 17.6%.
