Note: Normality of scale variables was assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test of normality. The independent samples t-test was used to compare groups on scale variables that were normally distributed, and the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare groups on scale variables that were non-normally distributed. For dichotomous variables, group differences were tested using a Chi-square Independence test (n => 5 for each group) or a Fisher Exact Test (n < 5 in a group).
