q3 i? Among single-assessment-type studies, mean MERSQI scores differed significantly by assessment type (p < 0.001); knowledge studies had a median MERSQI of 11.5 versus 9.5 for perception and 8 for other, with Tukey's HSD differences between knowledge and perception (p = 0.004) and knowledge and other (p < 0.001). → Taylor 2023

One-Way ANOVA with Tukey's HSD on the 69 studies using one assessment type (42 perception, 13 knowledge, 14 other). "There was a statistically significant difference of mean MERSQI quality scores between study types (p < 0.001)".

"There was a statistically significant difference of mean MERSQI quality scores between study types (p < 0.001). Studies classified as perception had a median (IQR) of 9.5 (10.5 to 7.6), whereas studies classified as knowledge had a median (IQR) of 11.5 (12.5 to 10.5) and other had a median (IQR) of 8 (10 to 7)."
