Table 1: Topic ratings from all iDLD/iDLDPC participants with corrector values. Corrector value = frequency of topic rated above 7 (identified as cut-off). Corrector values transform survey data to integrate iDLD/iDLDPC data. Ratings above cut-off are in bold-italic. Blank spaces indicate topics not discussed or rated by iDLD/iDLDPC.
