Lower values indicate greater confidence and standard deviations are in parentheses.

^aAll mean ratings for in-person were significantly (p < 0.001) lower than any remote method, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.

^bThe mean ratings for uncompressed video were significantly (p < 0.001) lower than for compressed video for each assessment type, Mann–Whitney test.
