Values with different alphabetical superscripts denote the significance of p < 0.05. § Self-reported. † Measurement from the first time point of each quarter. * Different from the Longitudinal Sample. As these results include individuals from a large sample of unknown students and are a deidentified subset of this list, the identities of individuals belonging to demographic groups with small numbers cannot be identified.
