Data presented reflect N (%) of partner/parent respondents who (somewhat or strongly) agreed with each item.
All items were rated on a five-point Likert response scale: 1 = “Strongly Disagree,” 2 = “Somewhat Disagree,” 3 = “Neutral,” 4 = “Somewhat Agree,” 5 = “Strongly Agree.” Items were analyzed as continuous variables for significance testing; however, response categories 4 and 5 were collapsed to reflect “Agreed” for data presentation purposes.
