The influence of profession on ratings of content usefulness was examined and the means and standard deviations for this analysis can be seen in Tables 2 and 3.
The testing was conducted through seven steps with different groups of participants at each step, using ratings of content validity index (CVI) and audio recorded 'think-aloud' interviews.
There were no significant differences in ratings of content usefulness based on practice location (F 3,100) = 1.77, p = .158), suggesting that participants from all practice locations found the content equally useful.
