The left column shows the survey questions, which were scored on a Likert scale with a range of 1–5. Responses to 1 and 5 scores are listed in the footnotes. IPT=isoniazid preventive therapy.
One-sided p value.
1=no knowledge of IPT, 5=high knowledge of IPT.
1=very weak, 5=very strong.
1=very easy, 5=very difficult; declining score (negative change) indicates decreasing difficulty (ie, increasing ease) for these questions.
