NOTES:
^ Population size for groups in this table are estimates from PRAMS based on weighted numbers
	for women reporting stressful events in their lives.
* Recoded responses to Survey Question 33: This question is about (stressful) things that may have
	happened during the 12 months before your new baby was born.
# There were fewer than 10 survey respondents to this question.  Data may be unreliable for describing this
	group, therefore percent is not reported.
