†, reported as n (%); ‡, the ‘importance score’ is a weighted average computed by assigning scores of 0, 0.5, or 1 to the possible responses (“not important at all”, “somewhat important”, and “very important” respectively). A higher score implies more importance ascribed to that factor by respondents collectively.
