^*p values calculated for the neuropathy portion were calculated using two-sample t-tests (otal possible correct answers=9; total possible incorrect answers=6.) p values for the dementia portion were calculated using Fischer’s exact tests.

^†Correct responses included diabetes, HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, hypothyroidism, antiretroviral medications, isoniazid, vitamin B12 deficiency and vitamin B6 deficiency.

^‡Incorrect responses included malaria, hepatitis B, chlamydia, hypoparathyroidism, Schistosomiasis, and vitamin C deficiency.
