Persons who work in a place where clinical care or related services were provided to patients, or whose work involves face-to-face contact with patients or who were ever in the same room as patients.

Respondents could specify working in more than one setting.

§

Weights were calculated based on each occupation type by age, sex, race/ethnicity, work setting, and census region to represent the U.S. population of HCP. Work setting and overall occupation are presented as weighted estimates of the total sample. Where the groups are stratified by work setting, the weighted estimates are presented for each subgroup within the group.

Estimate suppressed because sample size was <30.

**

Allied health professionals, technicians, and technologists.

††

Administrative support staff or managers and nonclinical support staff (e.g., food service workers, housekeeping staff, maintenance staff, janitors, and laundry workers).

§§

Physician’s offices, medical clinics, and other ambulatory care settings.

¶¶

Dentist office or dental clinic, pharmacy, laboratory, public health setting, health care education setting, emergency medical services setting, or other settings where clinical care or related services was provided to patients.
