a
Prevalence estimates and differences were weighted to account for complex survey design and nonresponse. Prevalence differences with 95% CIs not containing zero were considered statistically significant. People of another race were included in analyses; however, estimates are not shown for this group due to the heterogeneity of the category.
b
Indicates that the 95% CI excludes zero and the difference in prevalence is therefore significant.
c
Lower CI is −0.04 and rounds to zero.
d
Upper CI is −0.03 and rounds to zero.
