All values presented as Mdn [interquartile range] in thousands of USD rounded from participants' pooled responses. Sample sizes include all eligible participants who reported working at least fulltime (i.e., 35 h per week or more) in the overall (n = 346), clinical (n = 280), and non-clinical samples (n = 29). Professional Setting further includes clinical participants working in institutional settings only (n = 113), both institutional settings and private practice (n = 80), or private practice only (n = 86). Actual sample sizes reduced due to item non-response. Gender grouping based on binary gender identity variable (i.e., female or male, with additional “I prefer not to respond to this item”); results did not differ when compared to individual response options (i.e., woman/female and man/male, among other options). Disparity was determined by dividing median values for women by median values for men, and therefore represent relative differences standardized on a 1.00 scale.
