Results: Slightly three-quarters of the family members’ had poor knowledge pre package, while more than three- quarters of them had good knowledge after the health awareness package. Also, there was a radical satisfactory improvement among the majority of family members’ total score of reported practices after the health awareness package in the post-test rather than of the pre-test. (P-value = 0.000). There was a statistically significant strong direct correlation between total scores of pre and post-knowledge and reported practices of health awareness package (p > 0.001). There were highly statistically significant relationships between family members’ total scores of knowledge and reported practices and socio-demographic characteristics.
