Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 This item was only asked of respondents who did not identify as heterosexual. Return to note 3 referrer Note 4 This item was only asked of respondents who indicated yes to at least one item from the CASr-SF. The percent calculation therefore does not include all respondents.
