numbers in the “overall” category reflect all those who responded to questions regarding personal income and practice type; numbers in the “female” and “male” categories reflect those who additionally responded to a later question in the survey regarding gender. Due to survey dropout, the total number of male and female responses recorded will not equal the responses recorded in the overall category.
