Sample sizes are weighted
ap-values show the levels of significance of the association between each socio-demographic variable and self-reported past-year drunkenness by gender and for the total sample (e.g. 8% of in-school males report drunkenness while 13% of out-of school males do so. These proportions are statistically significantly different)
bGender difference is statistically significant at the .05 level of significance
