Notes: Count and percentage refer to the number of participants who endorsed each answer. Percentages may sum to more than 100% because participants could list multiple answers. All beliefs are inclusive to the “individuals involved” CFIR domain. We also mapped these beliefs onto other potential CFIR domains with which they are associated.
