  1. aChi-Square test analyzed the differences between total scores grouping for four constructs (knowledge, attitude, behavioral intention, and behavior) based on two genders
  2. bWhole score grouping was based on unfavorable, relatively favorable, and favorable. The lower third of the whole score of each construct is considered unfavorable. The middle third of the whole score of each construct is considered relatively favorable. The upper third of the whole score of each structure is considered desirable.
