aThe numbers of participants are the sums of the counts of the unique participants (by e-mail) in each round. Considering the participants who have participated in the HHTG more than once (using the same e-mail addresses), the total number of unique participants throughout the 3 rounds is 2963. Furthermore, because participants can enter the HHTG multiple times using different e-mail addresses, the actual number of unique participants may be smaller than 2963.

bGender is measured by utilizing a 2-step method with sex at birth and current gender identity.

cShows valid responses from the 1510 follow-up survey respondents.

dIncludes “less than high school,” “some high school,” and “high school graduate or GED.”

eIncludes “graduated from technical school” and “some college or an associate's degree.”
