Northern America = FB from Canada and Bermuda living in the USA.

For Japan, Northern America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southern, Northern, and Western Europe, which have low CHB rates and relatively modest numbers of emigrants to the USA, rates from reviews were used instead of rates from systematic review and meta‐analyses. Male‐specific data and female‐specific data from the same survey were entered separately and counted as two surveys.

Results for individual countries are available in Supporting Table S4 (Supporting Information).
