aReported percentages were calculated using survey weights and therefore differ from the raw percentages

bThe number of respondents reported for each variable corresponds to the unweighted sample. N refers to the total number of respondents in the column while n refers to number of observations in the specific cell

cDesign-based F is a corrected weighted Pearson chi square statistic
