↵a Mixed-race participants selected both White and another racial category. In the analysis, the race category was collapsed into White/non-White participants. Mixed-race participants were classified as non-White.
↵b Married includes domestic/civil partnership. Married/widowed participants were grouped together because the views of these participants, who are in a relationship or whose relationship was involuntarily ended, are likely to be different than participants who are divorced or are in the process of getting a divorce.
