Note. 1 Calculated for adequately screened vs. underscreened; independent samples t-tests used for continuous data and chi-square tests of independence for categorical data. For significant differences between categories, we provide Cohen’s d (for continuous data) and Cohen’s h (for proportions); ns denotes that there is not a significant difference at p < 0.05. 2 Western and Territories: British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Nunavut; Atlantic: Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. 3 Ethnicity was measured using the 2016 categories defined by Statistics Canada [23]. 4 The categories Caribbean, Latin, Central and South American, African, Oceania, and Mixed were recategorized into Other due to small individual case counts, alongside those providing otherwise uncategorizable open-ended responses. 5 The categories Male, Trans Man, Trans Female, Non-Binary, and Prefer not to answer were recategorized into Other due to small case counts, alongside those providing otherwise uncategorizable open-ended responses. 6 The categories Gay, Lesbian, Queer, Two-Spirit, and Prefer not to answer were recategorized into Other due to small individual case counts, alongside those providing otherwise uncategorizable open-ended responses.
