  1. Estimates whose 95% confidence exclude the null value, equivalent to p < 0.05, are shown in bold italics.
  2. aMeta-analysis combination of the estimates from the two surveys. This was not done (shown ‘-’) if the two 95% confidence intervals did not overlap.
  3. bIAll CAA participants are included. In the IPSOS survey, only those who had travelled to a single region were included here (N = 424).
