Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Survey

A Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey is a structured, representative survey that measures what a target population knows about a topic, how it feels and believes about it, and what it actually does. Widely used in public health, water-sanitation-hygiene (WASH), family planning, and nutrition programming, KAP surveys provide the baseline and endline evidence for behaviour-change communication, identifying the gaps between knowledge and practice that interventions are meant to close.
