A Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) study is a quantitative method (predefined questions formatted in standardized questionnaires) that provides access to quantitative and qualitative information. KAP surveys reveal misconceptions or misunderstandings that may represent obstacles to the activities that we would like to implement and potential barriers to behavior change. Note that a KAP study essentially records an 'opinion' and is based on the 'declarative' (i.e., statements). In other words, the KAP study reveals what was said, but there may be considerable gaps between what is said and what is done. A KAP study is a representative study of a specific population to collect information on what is known, believed, and done in relation to a particular. In most KAP studies, data are collected orally by an interviewer using a structured, standardized questionnaire. These data then can be analyzed quantitatively or qualitatively depending on the objectives and design of the study. A KAP study can be designed specifically to gather information about disease-related topics, but it may also include questions about general health practices and beliefs.
