  1. Changes in Objective Knowledge scores were compared between the two experimental groups by conducting analysis of variance (ANOVA), with experimental group, gender, and baseline Objective Knowledge scores as independent variables. Pre- and postintervention Objective Knowledge scores were compared cross-sectionally between the two experimental groups using Pearson χ2 tests
