Notes: Total sample size differs from total possible sample size of 58223 due to missing data on gender and age, and the exclusion of ‘gender diverse’ due to small cell sizes. Each subscript letter denotes gender/age-groups that do not significantly differ (at the familywise error rate of α = 0.001) by presenting issue. n/a cell size<30.
