  1. Total sample is N = 263; however, this was a multiple-response question. As a result, counts do not sum up the total sample size. Percentages are based on people who indicated a health condition experienced in the past 30-days from the interview time. These percentages are aggregated per sub-section. Missing data (n = 8) did not form part of the calculation
