Note. (a) Proportion (percentage) of those experiencing mental health impact is reported in first column; total number within sexual orientation group reported in second column; adjusted standardized Pearson χ2 residual, measuring individual cell contribution to overall ×2, in third column. (b) Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) N is smaller than the other two measures as fewer men answered these follow-up questions.
