Note(s): Two-tailed Wilcoxon one-sample test against the neutral point (4) on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly disagree, 7 = Strongly agree). For Barriers items, scores significantly higher than 4 indicate recognition of potential barriers. For Facilitators items, scores significantly higher than 4 indicate endorsement of potential facilitators.

* = significant at <0.05 level. Mdn = Median, SD = Standard deviation, p = statistical significance. Rrb = rank biserial correlations
