Means for each of the direct cognitive measures were quite high, indicating strong intention and favourable attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control toward visiting the dentist (Table 2).
Thus, women attending public health care facilities reported slightly stronger intention, more favourable attitude and stronger perceived normative pressure to undergo HIV testing, compared to their counterparts attending private health care facilities (Table 2).
