Data presented as % (n); responses for “strongly agree” and “agree” were combined; responses for strongly disagree” and “disagree” were combined; to maintain statistical integrity, the incorrect answer (either “agree” or “disagree”) was combined with “neutral” when there were few responses (multiple cell counts < 5); included demographic factors were those for which statistical differences were observed (duration of licensure) in the knowledge or attitude items, or to depict overall response distribution (hospital affiliation). aCorrect response based on published studies; LGBTQ = lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer.
