All analyses represent the weighted means (SE) and frequencies (%) from the NCS-R. Pearson chi-square tests were used for categorical variables; and ANOVA tests were used for continuous variables. All P values were calculated using FDR analyses to adjust for multiple comparisons.

SD = standard deviation; USD = US dollars.

The median household income in 2013 was $51,939; the median household income for the entire study population (2001-2003) was $47,500.
