ADKS Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale, SD standard deviation

p-value was based on Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA)

ES effect size

Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons was applied. With 8 group comparisons conducted, a corrected p-value of 0.0062 was required

*Significant after Bonferroni correction (p-value < 0.0062)
