Stand. Coefficient is the coefficient standardized by the SNP standard deviation for the corresponding measure, a measure of effect size.

aD‐SNP

standard deviation is the square root of the D‐SNP benefit package variance component from mixed models.

b

This measure was not included on the survey after 2016 so the results for this measure are for 2015‐2016 only.
