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.

b

Due to the small number of participants in these categories, findings should be interpreted with caution.

c

n = 6 participants attending for other behaviours did not answer this question.

d

n = 3 participants attending for methamphetamine and n = 57 attending for other behaviours did not provide a postcode.

e

Participants could select more than one behaviour; therefore, comparisons are made for each behaviour.
