The same superscripts denote that means between the two groups for each variable are statistically equivalent (i.e., not significantly different).
A
Between group differences were assessed using chi-square analyses (for categorical level variables) and analyses of variance (ANOVA; for variables that were interval level or higher). Chi-square, F, and associated p values are only reported for those between group differences that met the criteria for conventional statistical significance (p≤.05).
B
48.5% of respondents reported being in a controlled environment; 30.3% reported being in a halfway house.
