  1. aThe number of factors here does not include those 6 factors identified at the ISBNPA symposium, as they were not scored. The full list is in Tables 1 and 3
  2. bMean is the total sum divided by the number of factors- so a maximum of 15 could be gained as 3 criteria on a Likert scale of 1–5, with 5 as most modifiable, strongest effect, largest priority
  3. cPosition that the factors were ranked in based on overall SUM/number of factors in each cluster
