p‐values are presented for each chi‐square analysis conducted. For each significant chi‐square derived from the comparison of more than two cells, p values for each significant follow‐up analysis are presented to signify the source(s) of the overarching effect.
Due to the small number of participants in these categories, findings should be interpreted with caution.
n = 6 participants attending for other behaviours did not answer this question.
n = 3 participants attending for methamphetamine and n = 57 attending for other behaviours did not provide a postcode.
Participants could select more than one behaviour; therefore, comparisons are made for each behaviour.
p < 0.00625 (Bonferroni α adjusted for eight comparisons).
