Data collection was done in 300 students of final year medical, pharmacy and nursing. The filled questionnaires were evaluated using descriptive statistics and analysed using mean and standard deviation. With regards to mean total knowledge, results showed that there were significant difference between medical and pharmacy (p = .000) and also, medical and nursing (p = .000). Results also showed that there was significant difference between Pharmacy and Nursing (p = .000). In terms of mean total attitude, there was no significant difference between medical and pharmacy (p = 1), but there was a significant difference between Medical and Nursing (p = .000) and pharmacy and nursing (p = .000). In terms of mean total practice, there was a significant difference between medical and pharmacy (p = .000), as well as medical and nursing (p = .000) and also a significant difference between pharmacy and nursing (p = .000) in the results.
