  1. Data are rounded to 1 decimal point, percentages may sometimes add up to just above (100.1) or below (99.9) 100%.
  2. ap-values from chi-squared tests comparing test-negative non-responders vs. test-negative responders and similarly test-positive non-responders vs. test-positive responders
  3. bIMD: index of multiple deprivation. The index of multiple deprivation (IMD) was calculated from the CYP’s small local area level-based geographic hierarchy (lower super output area) at the time of the first questionnaire and used as a proxy for socio-economic status. We report IMD quintiles from most (quintile 1) to least (quintile 5) deprived.
