Note: All percentages are based on weighted data and N’s are based on unweighted data. The Wald log-linear χ² test for odds ratios is reported, with p-values based on an adjustment for the degrees of freedom (also known as Wald F_adjusted). Inferences from these tests are identical to those for design-corrected Rao-Scott χ² tests.
