The data from the pilot study were entered into an Excel spread sheet and then
exported into SPSS version 18.0 for data analysis. All data were protected by electronic
passwords known only to the researcher. Hard copies of the surveys were kept in a locked
file cabinet. The researcher is the only person who had access to the key. The quality of
the data were also checked to ensure that any mistakes associated with the data entry
process, such as the presence of multiple irregular outliers or missing data, were
potentially corrected. The participants in this study were each given one survey. For the
purpose of anonymity and confidentiality, no personal identifiers were requested or
allowed on the survey.
