purpose a self administrative questionnaires was administered to
233(121 male and 112 female)students in Dejach Wondrad High

significant(p=0.05) difference in knowledge score was found as a
result of sex, age and two interaction effect sex by age and three
interaction sex by age by grade level. But the remaining factors
were unable to serve as sources of variability. A statistical
