Table 1.

Descriptive statistics based on raking variables (ie, age, gender, and race or ethnicity) given complex design and weighting and sexual orientation identities represented in the sample (N=1928). Proportions may not sum to 1, and percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding. Subcategories (eg, sexual orientation subcategories) may not sum to 1928 due to missing data. Sexual orientation was significantly associated with age group; the pattern of results indicates that younger adults were more likely to self-identify as sexual minority individuals than older adults.
