Note. Significant pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni correction. For example, for Q1a, this demonstrates that the mean of the response option Q1a (I want to learn about Brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s) is significantly different from the mean of the response options Q1b (I want to learn about my own brain health), Q1f (I was referred by someone I know), and Q1g (Other).

The scale for Questions 1 through 4 ranges from “1”-“5.” The scale for Question 5 ranges from “1”–“4.”
