Note(s): NI means not indicated by the respondent

Respondents used a slide bar to indicate their feeling of preparedness, with 1 feeling less prepared and 5 feeling more prepared

For the Chi-square test, respondents who did not indicate how prepared they felt were excluded from the analysis (NI in table)

The Chi-square comparisons are “none” to “one” to “two or more” and “none” to “one or more.”
