Notes:

^aOnly 1 item (Tamil, item 5) was missing a response; all others were marked “don’t know.”

^bItem-total correlation is the correlation of the individual item with the remaining items in the scale.

^cItem 6 (prepare) has mark-all-that-apply response categories. Thus, numbers reflect “don’t know” for any of the response options.
