a Values are reported as weighted sample mean and standard error of the mean (SE). b Weighted percentages accounting for sampling design. c p = 0.049, d p = 0.006. All other comparisons were significant at p < 0.0001. p values are generated from t-tests (continuous variables) and chi square tests (categorical variables). Total percentages do not equal 100 as missing values were included in the denominator.
