Table 2.

Demographic and clinical characteristics of study participants. Means (± SE), except as noted. For continuously distributed variables, effect sizes are eta-squared and p-values are based on one-way ANOVA. For frequency counts (sex) and percentages (prevalence of health conditions), effect sizes are Cramer’s V and p-values are based on Pearson’s chi-squared tests.
