Notes.
a
The RDAS system does not disclose actual cell counts, but Vsevolozhskaya & Anthony (2014) provide a method that can be used to derive unweighted effective sample size values as shown here.
b
Within-subgroup analyses were not calculated due to small sample sizes (e.g., Non-Hispanic African Americans of Caribbean origin vs. African origin).
