The results of the intervention program reveal all the mean
scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices among
scavengers. Most had low levels of knowledge in terms of
alertness, negative and neutral attitudes about health risk
behaviors affecting their health, and inappropriate practices
regarding the prevention of infection, injury, and disability.
After follow-up, knowledge, attitudes, and practices improved
significantly in the intervention group (P , 0.001), but there
was no significant difference in the control group. (In terms of
knowledge level, 15 closed questions were used. For attitudes
and practices, rating scale questionnaires were used).
