Table 3. Answers at baseline (T0, n = 400), 1 month (T1, n = 400) and 6 months (T6, n = 320).

Percentage of answers T0 (n = 400) T1 (n = 400) p value T0/T1 T0 (n = 320) T1 (n = 320) T6 (n = 320) p value T0/T6

T0: baseline, T1: 1 month after educational session,T6: 6 months after educational session.

DC = degree of certainty evaluated with a 6-point scale from 0 to 100% / n = 400 answers at T0 and T1 (i.e. 8 knowledge questions for 50 patients) / n = 320 answers at T6 (i.e. 8 knowledge questions for 40 patients).

T0/T1 comparison: concern the 50 patients and T0/T6 comparison: concern the 40 patients who completed the study.
