A comparative study on the frequency of simulation-based training and assessment of non-technical skills in the Norwegian ground ambulance services and helicopter emergency medical services

Table 3 ORs with p-values, for health trust employees having undergone simulation-based training in and assessment of seven generic NTSs during 2015, compared with the group of physicians (n = 53); p-values are calculated from logistic regressions
