Results The practice dimension score of women[（8.64±1.97）points] was higher than that of men[（7.52±2.40）points]（P<0.01）,and the total KAP score of women[（35.47±7.87）points] was also higher than that of men[（33.44±8.64）points]（P<0.01）. Survey subjects with a cultural level above university level had higher knowledge,attitude,practice scores,and total KAP scores than those in middle school,primary school,and below（all P<0.05）.
