  1. Note: Socioeconomic status group differences by response to COVID-19 are statistically significant (Kruskal-Wallis chi-squared = 8.7655, df = 3, p-value = 0.033). Post-hoc analyses with the Holm adjustments indicate that the difference between medium-low and medium-high is statistically significant (p = 0.037). Fisher’s exact test also indicated a statistically significant association (chi-squared = 13.893, df = 6, p-value = 0.031)
