The appropriate methodology to meet sample size in this study was obtained by using simple random sampling techniques which gives equal chance to every members of population to be selected as a sample. The data was analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. And the model used for this study was binary logistic regression used to analysis the inferential statistics. And also chi-square used for testing association between dependent and independent variables like gender, marital status, family income, and occupation.
