  1. 1Population-level characteristics were used in continuous form in the regression analysis, but for descriptive purposes, results are presented for population percentages of 20% and 80%
  2. 2 Odd ratios from multi-level logistic regression on all respondents.
  3. 3Estimated percentage from the regression model, controlling for all other factors in the model.
  4. * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01; *** = p ≤ 0.001
