↵* Proportions and mean values were weighted by sample weights. Unweighted number of respondents was rounded to nearest integer of 5. Weighted population represented was rounded to nearest integer of 1000.
↵† Weighted population counts are for the whole study period 2005–2017 (i.e., multiple years of population appended together).
