NOTE: Variables for which mean and standard deviation are displayed (those variables followed by M (SD)) were reported by respondents as percentages. We therefore reported the mean and standard deviation of percentages reported for such variables. The remaining variables (followed by %) were reported by respondents as dichotomous responses (yes, no). We therefore reported the percentage of respondents who answered in the affirmative.
