2.4 Statistical Analysis
Various tabular and statistical analyses have been used to conceptualize the whole scenario. SPSS version 16.0 was used for statistical analysis. The primary analysis of data showed non-normality in the sktest and Shapiro-Wilk test; hence we have used nonparametric alternative tests, namely, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon W test, and Kruskal-Wallis H test. KAP scores of respondents are presented as mean and standard deviation. Categorical variables are computed as percentages. A linear regression model has been performed to determine underlying factors that enhanced KAP scores. In the regression model, gender is a dummy variable; age and experience are continuous variables, and the education and field of work belong to categorical variables.
