Demographic characteristics are included at the population level (campus is referred to as HSI) and at the group level (Pre-Survey and Post-Survey). Population-level demographics were obtained from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Fall 2021 enrollment data for HSI [33]. Chi-square goodness of fit tests were used to assess each survey group’s population representativeness; 𝜒² and p-values are included for each demographic variable. No significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were found across Gender, Age Group, or Race in either survey, supporting these groups as representative samples of the HSI undergraduate population
^aGender was reported as a binary in HSI’s enrollment data, while the surveys included non-binary options
^bWhile ‘American-Indian or Native Alaskan’ was not included in the Chi-square test due to its 0% expected value, group proportions were still included in the table
^c‘Asian’ (15%) and ‘Pacific Islander’ (0%) were reported separately in HSI enrollment data but were grouped together as a survey option
^dThe ‘Unknown/ Other’ grouping included respondents who selected ‘Other’ or did not report race
