Correlation between the sum scores. Analyses were performed by the calculation of Spearman’s rho (ρ) and the corresponding p-values. (Note: TBEV = tick-borne encephalitis virus; GKS = general knowledge score; SKS = symptom knowledge score; RPS^inf = risk perception score for natural TBEV infection; RPS^vac = risk perception score for side effects of the TBE vaccine.)

Cumulative Score	GKS	SKS	RPSinf	RPSvac
GKS	-	ρ = 0.334 p < 0.001	ρ = 0.085 p = 0.009	ρ = −0.281 p < 0.001
SKS	ρ = 0.334 p < 0.001	-	ρ = 0.262 p < 0.001	ρ = −0.123 p < 0.001
RPSinf	ρ = 0.085 p = 0.009	ρ = 0.262 p < 0.001	-	ρ = −0.078 p = 0.017
RPSvac	ρ = −0.281 p < 0.001	ρ = −0.123 p < 0.001	ρ = −0.078 p = 0.017	-
