Note. Percentages are weighted to account for complex survey design; case numbers are unweighted and may not therefore sum due to missing values. p: the significance of Pearson’s χ² test with second-order Rao and Scott’s correction for survey design; OR: odds ratio; 95%CI: confidence interval at 95%.

^*Significant result where p < .05.
