Note: Different sample sizes are due to different number of missing values across SHSe reactions. Values with different superscripts are significantly different from each other at p<0.05; Abbreviations as follows: Hisp=Hispanic, AA=African American, NA=Native American, PI=Pacific Islander, Mixed=respondents who endorsed two or more racial/ethnic categories; HS=high school, HS/Equiv=high school or equivalent degree
