Figures
- Figure 1.
Regional distribution of postcard survey responses. Percentage of total responses is underlined, followed by the total number of responses for that region (n), and the female, minority (including Hispanic), and Hispanic response percentages within the region. In parentheses is the minority response rate as a percentage of the proportion of minority population for that region in 1996 (50% would mean our minority response rate was half the proportion of minorities in the region). Territories include Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and all other U.S. possessions, though we only received responses from Puerto Rico.
