1 The weighted average was calculated as the total number of individuals providing a particular response to a question across all meetings divided by the total number of individuals who answered that question at all the meetings.
2The “decline to answer” option was not provided at all meetings.
3 Classifications of race varied between meeting sites. In some meetings, the question of race was limited to one answer whereas in other meetings, attendees were permitted to answer “multiple races.” Also, attendees were allowed to decline to respond.
4The question on source of health coverage was not asked in two meetings.
5The question on employment was not asked in one meeting; the categories of full-time and part-time were combined in another.
