Table 1.

Received structural support. Significant differences between sociodemographic groups for received support with regard to structural components (different sources of support). Variables are reported with number of respondents (n), medians (Mdn), and values for interquartile ranges (IQR). Higher values indicate more support. The results of the Mann–Whitney U‐tests are reported with effect sizes (r) and significance values (P)
