  1. Individual items are scored from 0 to 5 on a six-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (″completely disagree″) to 5 (″completely agree″). The composite raw score was multiplied by twenty and divided by nine to obtain a new composite score that ranged from 0 to 100 where 100 reflected the highest possible level of shared decision-making
  2. a Refers to the observed p-value before adjustment
  3. b Refers to the adjusted p-value using Holm-Bonferroni Method
