The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents were between (54-60 years), about (26.7%), about half of the respondents are (either they do not read or write or read and write only) and (66.7 - 70%) live in rural areas, and about (70%) of them have less than (300,000) Iraqi dinars for monthly income.
