Missing values for variables are not shown in this table and were excluded from analysis. See Table 2 for counts of missing values for each variable. Participants with missing responses to any question used to create the outcome variables were excluded (Awareness - 5 missing; Knowledge - 13 missing).
The awareness outcome was calculated by summing the number of awareness questions to which the participant answered affirmatively. Possible scores range between 0-3 (integers only). To see the questions included in this outcome, see Table 3.
The knowledge outcome was calculated by summing the number of knowledge questions to which the participant answered correctly. Possible scores range between 0-7 (integers only). To see the questions included in this outcome, see Table 3.
p-values calculated using ANOVA test.
Boldface indicates significance p<0.05.
See Table 1 for explanation of variable creation.
