  1. * there were no significant differences between early and late groups. Fisher’s exact test was used for categorical variables and a t-test was used in the comparison of mean age.
  2. ** totals for “no”, “yes” and “don’t know” responses do not sum to the column totals due to missing data on this item. MI: mental illness.
