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.
