a
For continuous variables (e.g., age, average length of relationship), means and standard deviations are reported, Mean (SD). For frequency variables (e.g., racial/ethnic categories), frequencies and percentages of each group are shown, N (%).
b
Independent samples t-tests were used to test whether continuous variables were different across those enrolling online versus in person, and χ2 for frequency variables (e.g., race, ethnicity).
c
Represents those with a household annual income <$30,000/year.
