Note. The % values under the column Total reflect the rate of participants who reported a misdiagnosis for each psychiatric condition relative to the entire sample of adult participants (N = 1211). The % values under the Male and Female columns reflect the rates of men and women who reported a misdiagnosis relative to the entire sample of men and women, respectively. Some logistic regressions were not performed due to insufficient sample size. OR, Odds Ratio.
