One hundred respondents were drawn for the study using a purposive sampling technique. Forty two item researchers’ made questionnaire titled AHTPMACSSB was used to collect data after being validated by experts. The data were analysed using percentages and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient Statistical Technique.
