The figure illustrates the overlap of each of the three conditions, with 83.3% of participants (n = 25) identified as having at least one of the three conditions. With this, 26.7% (n = 8) were identified as having only one of the conditions, 56.7% (n = 17) with two or more, and 30.0% (n = 9) were identified as having all three conditions. ∩ = intersection.
