^aData are given as percentage (SE) except where indicated otherwise. Percentages in part 1 are based on the weighted numbers of respondents in treatment in each subsample. Percentages in part 2 are based on the weighted numbers of respondents in treatment with perceived need for treatment in each subsample. The column totals sum to more than 100% because respondents could give multiple reasons.

^bPerceived need for treatment is defined as respondents reporting that they sought treatment based, at least in part, on the recognition that they needed professional help as opposed to seeking help only because someone else urged them to do so.

^cUnweighted number of respondents in treatment in each subsample.

^dSignificant association with the gradient at P < .05, 2-sided test.

^eUnweighted number of respondents in treatment with perceived need for treatment in each subsample.
