Mann–Whitney U-tests were used for evaluating differences in AITCS scores between gender and workplaces, whereas Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to test for differences between age groups. No statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between gender or age groups (although age groups approached statistical significance with figures between p = 0.054 to p = 0.067).
Due to missing information on the subgrouping variables, the total numbers of subjects in respective subgroup do not add up to 349.
SD: standard deviation.
*** p <0.001.
