Notes: N=8786. Accounts for complex sampling design (Wave 7). Means of first-grade, third-grade, and fifth-grade classes for the sample may differ from those in Tables 1 and A1 because the samples differ. Columns sum to 1. Shaded cells are both overrepresented within row and among the most prevalent within column.
