FAQ total, M (SD)	19.51 (9.27)	18.34 (8.88)	18.18 (.002)***	2.80 (<.001)

Values are displayed as No. (%) for all FAQ variables, within each column (e.g., race).

Adjusted statistical models include age, sex, and education as covariates.

FAQ total scores rank transformed due to distribution non-normality.
