• The survey data were weighted by age, gender, region, social grade, working status, household tenure and ethnicity to be nationally representative of adults aged 15+ in Great Britain
• Where percentages do not add up to 100, this may be due to computer rounding, multiple responses, or the exclusion of don’t know categories.
