  1. The total median KAP scores were 81 (59–89), 40 (32–40) and 14 (4–20) respectively. For knowledge 78, 80, 83, 85 attitude 38, 39, 40, 42 and practice 12, 13, 15, 16 were the quintile (first to fourth) scores. Then quintile scores were obtained. The level of KAP was classified into the following five categories based on the quintile score coded as: ≤20 % highly insufficient, 21-40 % insufficient, 41-60 % sufficient, 61-80 % satisfactory and >80 % highly satisfactory [27, 28]
  2. CI confidence interval, HI highly insufficient, I insufficient, Suff sufficient, Sat satisfactory, HS highly satisfactory
