All independent variables significantly associated with the dependent variable in crude log. regression analyses were included in the multivariate analysis and are shown in the table.

^aIndependent variables in crude log. regression analyses included age, profession, the three self-reported variables (presented in Table 1) and three selected actual knowledge variables (top three variables in Table 2) and four selected attitude variables (top four variables in Table 3). All independent variables selected from Table 1–3 are marked in these tables with^d.
