US Results

The results below show correlations between outcomes and other factors examined in the survey. Those results examined below are the same set as in the Australian results. The correlated factors will offcourse differ, and it is important to note that a few factors were added as a result of the US survey (so while they may be correlated to an outcome in both surveys, only the Australian survey would reflect this).

A list of all survey questions and frequencies of the various responses is also available. These lists are auto generated and may require a little interpretation.
