To identify potential correlates of poor methotrexate knowledge, we conducted logistic regression on the likelihood of MTX knowledge scores below the 50th percentile (5 of 10; Table 3).
The study estimated the three KAP regression models using ordinal logistic regression analysis to determine the likelihood of greater knowledge, beliefs, and perception.
After being presented with the vignette, respondents were questioned about what was wrong with the person, how they could be helped, the likely helpfulness of a range of interventions, the likelihood of recovery, knowledge of causes and risk factors, beliefs associated with stigma and discrimination, contact with people like those in the vignette, and the health of the respondent.
Our findings that the likelihood of perfect ART knowledge improves with increasing education and the presence of family support conform with our expectations.
A key responsibility of IRBs is to balance moral and humane principles with the likelihood of gaining new knowledge from the conduct of research involving humans, which could benefit society in general.
"Although, apart from divine revelation, there is no apodictic certainty about things that exist outside our mind, but only moral or probable and likely certainty, that is still sufficient to perform adequately and to control all the activities of human life, since nothing more is required for them apart from moral or probable truth or the certainty and likelihood of knowledge" (Regius 1654, 351).
Binary logistic regression was used to assess the significance of each background variable (educational qualifications, age, sex, nationality, years of experience, current employment, working hours per day and previous advice or education on tooth avulsion) in explaining the likelihood of answering each knowledge-based question correctly.
The notion of 'evidence-in-context' is emerging, regardless of topic area, as the only way to truly understand the 'translation' of 'knowledge' to policy and practice; trying to assess the impact of 'evidence' without a concurrent evaluation of the context(s) in which it is to be used increases the likelihood of lack of success of knowledge translation strategies [ 34, 70, 71].
The likelihood of multiple mediators for knowledge sharing is yet to be investigated.
