Most participants had high knowledge (56.4%) and good attitudes (91%), but only 38% had high perception scores.
Among participants, 56.4% scored high on knowledge, 91% on attitudes, and 38% on perception. Age 26–35 (aOR: 1.53), married status (aOR: 1.18), and middle income (aOR: 0.76) were independent determinants of knowledge. Rural residence was associated with lower attitude scores (aOR: 0.76), and civil servant occupation was associated with higher perception scores (aOR: 1.53). Notable knowledge gaps included misconceptions about TB transmission through breast milk (65% agreement) and viral causation (46% agreement). Limitations include potential social desirability bias from self-reported data and the online format excluding populations without internet access. Findings suggest targeted health education is needed, particularly for rural populations and lower-income groups.
