  1. Data stratified by number of follow-up waves, survey length, and field study participation amount. Data calculated excluding non-deliverable surveys and gift card incentive rounds. Data ordered from highest to lowest probability of participating in field study
  2. aBased on total number of surveys mailed (n = 2482)
  3. bBased only on completed surveys (n = 407)
