Note. Survey year refers to different years for each arts outcome: for events 1 = 1993, 2 = 1998, 3 = 2002, 4 = 2012, 5 = 2016; for activities 1 = 1993, 2 = 1998, 3 = 2002; for groups 1 = 1993, 2 = 1994, 3 = 2004, 4 = 2010; and for interested non-attendees 1 = 2012, 2 = 2016. These numbers have been added for ease of presentation; years were used in analyses. For odds ratios, 1 indicates the reference category
