Fractions indicate the proportion of total respondents indicating definitely yes on 5-point Likert scale with 1, definitely no and 5, definitely yes. Percentages are given in parentheses.
* Significant differences on Fisher Exact Test for Significant Differences in Proportions between pre- and postprogram surveys within CLM respondents (p < 0.05).
*** Significant differences on Fisher Exact Test for Significant Differences in Proportions between pre- and postprogram surveys across all respondents (p < 0.001).
