Differences between 1992 and 2010 data were tested using chi-square tests.
†Statistical tests were not conducted where data were not reported consistently over time.
Subtotals presented do not equal actual totals because respondents with missing data for a particular characteristic are not included in distribution counts for that characteristic.
