Note. Class 5 is the reference class. Coefficients on these demographic variables can be interpreted as likelihoods of being in classes 1–4 when compared with the individuals in class 5, in which cure is valued most strongly. Understood is the self-reported understanding of the survey (0–10), Valid specifies that the validation questions were answered correctly, and Class share is the proportion of the population falling into each class.
