^aUnweighted Ns and weighted percentages of US women, ages 18+.

^bWhites, blacks, Hispanic/Latinas, Asians, and Native Americans. Also includes “Other Race/Ethnicity” not shown.

^dPercent of US women estimated with survey weights to adjust for unequal probability of sampling; responses may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

^eIncludes those with some college experience (including business, technical, or vocational school after high school) but no college degree, as well as those with a high school degree or GED certificate or less.

^*For race/ethnicity bivariate comparison, significantly different from whites at P < .05 (in bold); for sexual orientation/gender identity bivariate comparison, significantly different from non‐LGBTQ women at P < .05 (in bold), based on t tests.
