For the first question (“Have you ever heard…”), percentages are based on the total sample (N = 528 for Total, n = 313 for Lolo, n = 215 for Mbile). For all subsequent conditional questions, percentages are based on the number of respondents who answered “Yes” to having heard of LF (Total: n = 90; Lolo: n = 67; Mbile: n = 23). Row percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding
