Overall, the mean (SD) total score (i.e., number of correct answers out of a maximum of 15; range 0\u201315) significantly increased from 8.99 (2.26) to 11.46 (2.50) points, for a mean pre\u2013post difference of 2.5 (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001). Notable issues included the misidentification of device types and confusion between inhalation techniques for pressurized metered-dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers.
