Table 2 True/false statements used to assess ED knowledge among participants in a household KAP survey—Colombia, 2012

1) If you find a grenade you can take it home and keep it, because if it did not explode when it was used, it is defective and will not cause harm.

2) If it is raining, it is safe to take shelter in an abandoned house.

3) Throwing rocks at an antipersonnel mine makes it explode without anyone being injured.

4) Some mines are made of plastic.

5) Some mines are hung in trees.

6) Walking gently and carefully through a suspected minefield will ensure that you get out without causing any mines to explode.

7) Driving a herd or group of animals through a field that is suspected to be mined renders it safe to cross.

8) Combat occurred in a field 6 months ago. It is safe to pass through the field without major risk because a lot of time has passed.
