Note. Standard errors in brackets. *, **, and *** denote statistical significance at 1%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. The standard errors of the changes in prevalence are about the same as the standard errors of the levels in prevalence because of a positive correlation between the 2000 and 2012 prevalence estimates.
