Characteristics of unweighted survey respondents by their likelihood to wear a protective mask “while visiting with friends or family in their homes.” For each response, the number of respondents (and percentage of the row total) and the p value on the association between the characteristic and degree of mask-wearing from a χ2 test are presented.
