Notes. The details of the five questions are as follows: 1. What is the probability (0–100%) that an epidemic disease will be widespread in the post-earthquake areas? 2. How many times (out of 100 aftershocks) would residents in earthquake areas need to take safety measures? 3. How many Medical Doctors are needed for every 1000 residents in earthquake areas? 4. How many Psychological Workers are needed for every 1000 residents in earthquake areas? 5. Suppose that there is a medication which can heal the psychological wounds of mass disaster without side effects such as nausea or anaphylaxis. What dose of the medication should be prescribed for an earthquake victim (up to 100 mg daily)?
*Plus–minus values are means ±SD.
The estimated dosage more than 100 was coded as the maximum value (100 mg daily).
A sign of inequality (<) indicates a statistically significant difference.
