  1. Data are presented as Mean. Participants rated their knowledge using a 6-point likert scale ranging from “1 = very good “to “6 = insufficient”
  2. (M) = Mann-Whitney-White U test for ordinally distributed data
  3. (T0) = prio to the intervention, (T1) = directly after the intervention
  4. Significant results were marked in boldface
