^aTotals represent the cumulative percentage of the cohort that witnessed any ETV event. Lifetime prevalence of witnessing any event is not the sum of the row totals because participants may have witnessed multiple events. Where multiple events are witnessed, they may occur in more than one location, and recently as well as in the past.

^bThree race/ethnic groups were compared via 2 degrees of freedom chi-squared tests. Six national groups were compared via 5 degrees of freedom chi-squared tests.
