Means in the same row that share subscripts do not differ at p <.05 (Tukey honestly significant difference [HSD] comparison). For example, consider Support for Prevention: the mean for the Northeast region (subscripts a and b) is significantly different than the mean for the West (subscript c), but not significantly different than the means for the Central (subscripts a and c) or South (subscript b) regions; the South region mean (subscript b) is significantly different than both the Central (subscripts a and c) and West region means (subscript c)
