p ≤ .01

An overall χ2 value is not reported because 5 (25%) cells were associated with expected values less than 5. Row-by-row comparisons found no significant differences at p < .05.

Note: some variables have missing data. Where omnibus tests of between group differences were significant, group-by-group comparisons were evaluated using the LSD post hoc test. Groups with different superscripts differ at p < .05. Groups which share a common superscript do not.
