Survey approach was used, and data was collected by distributing questionnaires. Total 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 169 completed questionnaires were received and used in analysis of data. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were run. Correlation and regression analysis were used to test hypotheses. T-test was used to find the mean difference. SPSS 25 and AMOS-SEM 18 were used for analysis. Structural model was developed and validated in the study. Factor loadings of EFA and confirmatory factor analysis CFA are also reported. It is found that all the variables are related with each other significantly and public health awareness predicted preventive and curative health significantly.
