^aAs reported by state administrators. The sample size for responses to each survey question varied from 143 to 254. A sample size of 143 achieves 80% power to detect an effect size of 0.23 using a one degree of freedom Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. An effect of 0.23 is the equivalent of at least a 0.12 difference (potentially larger depending on the values) in proportions between groups.
