  1. We do not find differences by condition for most baseline demographics. Where we find a difference by Mestiza ethnicity, it is not paralleled by differences in other ethnicities. Where we find a difference by log-transformed income, paralleled by a marginally significant difference in subjective socioeconomic status (SES), we control for SES in our analyses. Numeric ranges in parentheses refer to the response scale; y/n indicates a binary yes/no response scale
