Demographics of the overall cohort. The Pearson Chi-Square test indicated no statistically significant difference between the Control and Intervention groups based on: contribution from the different teaching cohorts (c² = 10.4, df = 6, p = 0.108), course of study (c² = 3.22, df = 1, p = 0.073), student status (c² = 0.042, df = 1, p = 0.837), distribution of the age ranges (c² = 0.043, df = 1, p = 0.836), or gender (c² = 2.91, df = 1, p = 0.088)
