Note: Boldface indicates statistical significance (*p<0.05).
For all resource types, this analysis was restricted to only those participants with ‘nearby’ resources, defined as ≤1 mile in the distance analysis (left) and ≤5 minutes in the time analysis (right). Participants without any nearby resources were excluded from each analysis.
