*Data are presented only for non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Hispanics because
 

numbers for other racial/ethnic groups were too small for meaningful analysis. Persons of
 

Hispanic origin can be of any race; however, the racial/ethnic groups non-Hispanic white and
 

non-Hispanic black do not include persons of Hispanic origin.
 

†Confidence interval. 95% CIs were calculated by multiplying the standard error by ±1.96.
 

§The standard of reliability is RSE <0.3 (where RSE = the ratio of the standard error and the
 

prevalence). This estimate did not meet that standard, or the denominator was <30. 


¶Meets the standard of reliability; however, <50 respondents were in the denominator.
