NB: β-regression coefficient, 95% CI—95% confidence intervals, -variable dropped from the model; the models were fitted using scores of knowledge, attitude and practice, respectively, as continuous variables. In all the models, the specialty was retained as a priori variable; boldface indicates statistical significance at p < 0.05.
