The figures presented in this table are based on the median value per indicator resulting from the relevance assessment of participating institutions. E.g. for the sub-dimension health behaviours the mean value over the median value for the 4 indicators of this subdimension is 7.9

Likert-type scale for relevance ratings (1 = not relevant at all to 9 = highly relevant)

SD standard deviation; a Either all or none of the indicators were selected; b Formal consent about the selection i.e. relevance of an indicator was defined by a median in [6.5–9]
