  1. aFor data from pre- and post-intervention survey items with a dichotomous response (extremely vs. somewhat likely) p-values were computed using McNemar’s test of marginal homogeneity (symmetric table cell proportions)
  2. bFor data from pre- and post-intervention survey items with a 3 × 3 response (extremely likely, somewhat likely, or neither likely nor unlikely) p-values were computed using the generalization of the McNemar’s test, commonly referred to as generalized McNemar’s test or Stuart-Maxwell test for homogeneity of the marginal distributions
