The level of the subjective knowledge is measured in percentage term where 0 indicates very a low knowledge level and 100 a very high knowledge level. The level of the objective knowledge represents the percentage of successful rate of correct answers. The sufficient information level is measured with an 11-point Likert-type scale that ranges from 0 (the information is insufficient) to 10 (the information is sufficient). ^{a, b}: statistical difference between the subjective and objective knowledge level (i.e., by row); ^{x, y}: statistical difference between citizens and consumers (i.e., by column); ***: significance at 99% level, **: significance at 95% level.
