CI Confidence Interval

* Statistically significantly different from zero (p < .05)

a Joinpoints were identified with joinpoint regression. The final model selected by joinpoint regression was used

b Annual percent change was estimated by joinpoint regression. APC was the same before and after joinpoint when zero joinpoints were detected

c APC and AAPC were the same when zero joinpoints were detected

Note. Sample size varied due to responses with unknown values
