Differences between two groups were evaluated with paired-samples t tests, and differences between three groups were evaluated with Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference Tests. To provide some adjustment for Type I error, pairwise differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.006 (0.05/8 for 8 SHINE subscales)

A Less than 50 years of age, B 50–64 years of age, C 65 years of age and above, D Indicated not having enough money to spend on special things, E Indicated having enough money to spend on special things, F Currently married, G Not currently married, H At least one child under 18 years of age living at home, I At least one child (but none under 18 at home), J No children, K single site (bone), L single site (not bone), M multiple sites
