two thirds of the studied women (68.1 %) had positive attitude regarding VA pre intervention which increased to (79.8%)
post intervention. Additionally, there were statistical significant relation between total knowledge score and total attitude
score pre intervention, while there were no statistical significant relation post interventions. Conclusion: There were
