The Data were collected from 601 participants .Multi stage sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data were entered to Epi-info version7.2.5 and exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. Descriptive statistics, percentage and frequency were done. Bi-variable logistic regression was done to identify variables candidate for multi variable logistic regression at p value less than 0.25 and multivariable logistic regression was done to identify factors associated with the outcome variable at p value less than 0.05 and with 95% confidence interval and odds ratio were used for interpretation association. RESULTS: The response rate of the respondent is 94.9 %. The behavioral response was affected by Grade level AOR,0.473,95 CI(0.252-0.886), knowledge AOR,2.627 95 CI(1.788- 3.859), attitude AOR,3.19, 95CI(2.145-4.744), efficacy AOR 3.286,95%CI(2.03-5.339) and threat AOR,0.249,95% CI(0.167-0.369) response were associated with danger control.
