What it does not show
The study was done at one time, so it cannot show cause. It used self-report and did not test an intervention or patient outcome. It was done in one village, so it may not apply elsewhere.
Declared interests
The authors declared no conflict of interest.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as showing that profession or education improves self-efficacy. It measured associations in one village and did not test an intervention.
