bA total of 18 wearable users had missing data for willingness to share wearable data with providers, therefore the denominator for weighted percentages in this column is 1282.

cA total of 22 wearable users had missing data for willingness to share wearable data with family or friends, therefore the denominator for weighted percentages in this column is 1278.
