a n = 1631.
b Ethnicity was not reported by 10 participants. The difference between race and ethnicity is not universally recognized, and an absence in reporting one or the other may result from the assumption that “race” is the same as “ethnicity.” Moreover, some defined ethnic groups (eg, Hispanics) do not identify with racial categories (eg, white) or find the race question confusing (http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/race/racefactcb.html).
