Overall p-value significant at the P<0.001 level. Group difference significance estimated using least squares means and adjust for multiple testing. All listed differences are significant at least at the P<0.05 level. As an example of interpretation: for Race/Ethnicity, A v. (B, C, D, E) would indicate that people who self-identify as Asian are significantly different from those who self- identify as Black, Hispanic/Latino, Other race, or White.
