The review's conclusions section synthesises knowledge outcomes across the included trials, reporting no differences between instructor-led theory and self-directed CD/DVD learning; no effect size is printed, so equivalence was not tested.

"With regard to the knowledge acquired, participants did not show differences between those who received a theoretical session with an instructor and participants who acquired knowledge independently through computer CDs or DVDs."
