It was also showed residence of the participants had a statistically significant association with their pretest knowledge level (?² = 10.127, df = 4, p = 0.038) and the occupation of the father was found to have a statistically significant association with the posttest knowledge levels (?² = 9.384, df = 3, p = 0.025).
