The initial  knowledge of the techers will be assessed using this questionnaire before the the educational program(Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audiovisual Materials), which will be provided right before the educational program. The educational program will be conducted immediately after the questionnaire. One week later and one month later after the educational program, post-test questionnaire will be taken, same manner as the pre-test to evaluate knowledge improvement.The Questionnaire**,**  contains 28 questions designed to evaluate a teacher’s understanding of the condition. The time required to complete the questionnaire is roughly around 15 to 20 minutes.
