All tests are 2 x 2 χ² tests for association, as the variables are categorical and independent. Missing values were excluded.
↵a As multiple testing (15 comparisons) was performed, a Bonferroni adjustment to the 0.05 α level was applied to limit the potential of a type 1 error.
↵b A P-value ≤0.003 is considered significant in this context.
