Banner-Question Key

This detailed set of statistical tables shows survey results for the total general population and also by various subgroups of interest. The “banners” of subgroups are drawn from questions in the survey. The results have also been tested for significant differences within these subgroups. The statistical tests undertaken are an independent T-Test for means and independent Z-Test for percentages. The following key shows the questions used to create the banner subgroups and also what groups have been tested for significant differences in each of the banners.

In the tables that follow, upper case letters under the percentages indicate subgroup differences that are significant at the 95% level.
