A Knowledge Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey is a fundamental and first step approach to allow organisations to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of all stakeholders to who the intervention is targeted to, this could be employees, managers, board of directors and customers and respectively. In practice this tool is used by those companies who want to assess knowledge base so as to enable them to come up with appropriate intervention strategies that will address needs peculiar to their environments. For organisations to be well informed of the effectives of the intervention and prevention programmes that they put in place, this tool, as part of the strategy, should be used in the first instance before the commencement of related activities and then it should be used at intervals of 6 months to 12 months as a tool to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention programme.

Objectives:
