For all subscales, possible scores range from 1 to 4, where 4 represents the highest perception of both benefits and barriers;
Values in the cells of these columns are actual t-test values;
Indicates that the means of the subscales that are being compared were significantly different, using Bonferroni corrected critical p values for benefits (p < 0.005) and for barriers (p < 0.008).
