Note: The number of observations for each item (i.e., the number of respondents who had learnt to practice mindfulness) was 153 in 2018 and 402 in 2021. The percentages were weighted to reflect the sociodemographic profile of the adult population of Britain and were rounded to the closest integer. The total amounts to more than 100 percent, as the respondents could tick more than one option.
